Police arrested senior Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader T Harish Rao, along with some of his supporters, after they tried to barge into the residence of Minister for Information and Public Relations J Geetha Reddy at Marredpally on Monday.
The TRS members were protesting against the ministers from Telangana who had, earlier in the day, participated in the official Andhra Pradesh Formation Day celebrations.
Earlier, Harish Rao had termed these ministers as 'betrayers of Telangana'.
The TRS leader told his supporters at a dharna in front of Geetha Reddy's residence that the people and students of the region would give a fitting reply to those ministers who had participated in the Formation Day celebrations. He stated that they had violated the diktat issued by the TRS, and that for this they will neither be forgotten nor forgiven by the people of Telangana.
The TRS members had kept raising slogans against the government's move to celebrate the Formation Day celebrations all the time Harish Rao was speaking.
When the activists tried to barge into Geetha Reddy's house, the police foiled their attempts and arrested Harish Rao, among others.
