WE WILL.............GOVERNMENT 499
The first and foremost duty of the leaders was to advance the interest of the Scheduled Castes and when a situation arises which jeopardies the interest of the Scheduled Castes it is treason for a leader not to be stir himself into doing something,” he added.
Dr. Ambedkar said : “We will carry on an All-India Satyagraha even against the Central Government when our patience is exhausted. If the Sikhs can do it why cannot the Scheduled Castes ? ”
Those, therefore, who objected to the Satyagraha, had better get out of the Federation, Dr. Ambedkar added.
The second misunderstanding related to the reorganisation of the Hyderabad State Scheduled Castes Federation. The statement of Mr. P. N. Rajbhoj, General Secretary of the AllIndia Federation, that the working committee of the Federation had decided to break up this branch into four separate branches was a fact and the decision was final.
This pattern of organisation had not been devised for the Hyderabad State only, but adopted throughout the country wherever this Federation existed, he added. He warned members of the Federation that while so far the organisation had been very lenient to those who have been violating the orders of the Federation, hereafter no mercy will be shown to any one who acts contrary to them.” [1]
