Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman M Kodandaram, on Saturday, called upon activists to participate in the Telangana March in large numbers and make it a grand success.
Talking to media persons, Kodandaram said that activists must observe restraint and organise the march peacefully "despite obstructions created by the government".
"No one should disturb law and order, and people must organise the march peacefully," he said.
However, he said that the government had failed to honour its promise, and that it resorted to illegal arrests and slapping bind-over cases by stopping vehicles from entering Hyderabad ahead of the march.
He demanded the unconditional release of Telangana activists who were arrested across the Telangana region in the wake of the Telangana March.
"By resorting to arrests, the government plans to dilute the Telangana March," he said.
He also denied media reports that the TPJAC had given its assurance that it would organise the march peacefully.
Kodandaram said the government must take serious disciplinary action against officials who had failed to honour its orders.
TNGO president Devi Prasad also pressed the government for immediate release all pro-Telangana activists who were arrested in connection with the march.
Earlier, Kodandaram met Congress MPs from the region at MP G Vivek's residence, and discussed the organization of the march. (INN)
