Hyderabad, Dec.9 (NSS): Congress leaders staged a protest in front of the Assembly on Saturday, alleging disrespect by the BRS leaders towards Telangana martyrs.
The protest was led by former MP V. Hanumantha Rao, DCC President Rohin Reddy, SAT Chairman Shiva Sena Reddy, and Fisheries Corporation Chairman Mettu Sai Kumar, among others.
As part of the protest, the leaders performed a purification ritual at the Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial.
Speaking on the occasion, V. Hanumantha Rao criticised BRS leaders, including KT Rama Rao, for their alleged indifference towards women and Telangana’s cultural symbols.
“Since the beginning, KTR has exhibited a dismissive attitude towards women. His past remarks were insulting, and this behaviour has continued unabated,” VH alleged.
The Congress leader, Rohin Reddy, also accused the BRS of disrespecting Telangana Thalli (Mother Telangana). “BRS leaders have repeatedly insulted Telangana Thalli. Today’s incident is yet another example of their disregard. The party’s attitude towards Telangana’s cultural and emotional symbols is unacceptable,” he said.
The Congress leaders further stated that BRS leaders and MLAs would be welcomed warmly if they donned T-shirts featuring Telangana Thalli’s image.
“Their actions today insulted the Telangana Martyrs’ memorial, and this compelled us to perform the milk purification ritual. The people of Telangana are watching and will hold the BRS accountable,” they warned.
