A conference organized by the Untouchability Eradication Front called for unity among all sections to counter alleged conspiracies by right-wing groups, citing ongoing caste-based atrocities and regressive views expressed by some academics. Speakers highlighted Kerala's progress, attributing it to Marxist-led movements against casteism and fanaticism, including land reforms and social welfare initiatives. The conference also passed resolutions demanding better implementation of Special Component Plan funds and the enactment of a separate law.
