Jana Reddy Demands Security For Congress Leaders
The Leader of the Opposition said Congress leaders including G Sukhender Reddy, Mohammed Ali Shabbir, P Balram Naik and 12 others faced Maoist threats.
Leader of the Opposition in the Telangana Assembly K Jana Reddy on Wednesday demanded that the State government restore security for the Congress leaders of Telangana.
In a letter written to Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Reddy said that leaders including G Sukhender Reddy, Mohammed Ali Shabbir, P Balram Naik and 12 others faced threats to their lives from the Maoists.
He added that a few leaders had even survived Naxal attacks in the past.
He said that the threat perspective had now increased in view of the recent political developments.
Therefore, he strongly opposed the scaling down of the security cover for the Congress leaders, and demanded that it be restored with immediate effect.
Jana Reddy also marked a copy of his letter to Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy. (INN)
