Samara Deeksha Will Happen: TPJAC

Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kodandaram on Saturday announced that the Telangana Samara Deeksha will be held on Sunday irrespective of whether or not the police permit it.

Talking to reporters after meeting TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, Kodandaram said that the JAC was firm in its decision to hold the Samara Deeksha from Sunday. Informing that the Central Zone DCP has denied the permission to the conduct 36-hour Samara Deeksha at Indira Park, he expressed bafflement that the police had rejected the permission although an assurance had been given that the protest would be totally peaceful.

Complaining of injustice and discrimination, Kodandaram said that, while the government had permitted the Jai Andhra Pradesh meeting at Rajahmundry, it had denied permission for a Telangana meeting.

Meanwhile, JAC leaders called on Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy seeking her intervention to get permission for the Samara Deeksha. The Home Minster has reportedly assured the JAC delegation that she would speak to DGP V Dinesh Reddy about it.

Kodandaram said it was the responsibility of Telangana ministers to prevail upon the govenment to permit Samara Deeksha. (INN)
