Minorities Welfare Minister Syed Mohammed Ahmadullah faced the ire of angry protestors when he visited a hunger strike camp of Samaikyandhra activists at the District Collectorate in Kadapa.
The activists gheraoed the minister and demanded that he resign from his post. The situation turned tense when some miscreants threw slippers at the minister, provoking his supporters.
However, the timely intervention of the police, and the minister's soft approach, minimised the tension.
Talking to reporters later, Ahmadullah made it clear that he had resigned from his post on the same day that the pro-Telangana announcement was made by the Centre.
Further, he said he was visiting the hunger strike camp as a Samaikyandhra supporter, and not as a minister. (INN)
