The Telangana Political Joint Action Committee on Friday called for a 3-day Telangana bandh from February 22nd to press the Centre to table a separate statehood bill in the budget session of the Parliament.
Talking to media persons after participating in a protest by the employees of the Director of Agriculture Office, TPJAC Convenor Kondandaram announced that pro-Telangana activists would bring the transport systems including trains and buses, and other government activities to a grinding halt from February 22nd onwards for 3 days across the Telangana region.
"We want the Telangana bill to be tabled in the forthcoming budget session of the Parliament. If the government does not accept our demand, then we will be forced to bring rail and bus services to a halt, and also obstruct other activities of government offices across Telangana from February 22nd," he declared.
Beside this, former Haj Committee Chairman Raheemullah Khan Nayazi told the protesting employees of the Director of Agriculture that efforts were on to build consensus among all the legislators from the region to resign en masse. He said that if all the legislators resign en masse, the Centre would be pressurized to give in to the separate statehood demand.
"We appeal to all the legislators from the region to join hands with us to strengthen the movement, and for exerting pressure on the Centre to table the separate statehood bill in the Parliament," Nayazi stated.
I lost one year because of Telangana agitation in 1969-1970. We did mass copying at the time and passed our examinations at the time. Now all students should lose more than one year of their studies. All the industry should desert Hyderabad. All people from other states should not come to Hyderabad. They should go back. Hyderabad is only for Hyderabad people - there should be separate Hyderabad.
