Several students of Osmania University were taken into custody by the police, when they tried to "lay siege" to the Congress headquarters, Gandhi Bhavan, in Hyderabad, on Saturday.
The students, affiliated to OUJAC, gathered at Gandhi Bhavan, and raised slogans against the ruling party for "betraying" Telangana. They demanded that people vote against the Congress in the ensuing panchayat elections.
Later, they have also burnt an effigy of the Congress Core Committee, the political body that
deferred the decision on Telangana on Friday.
Calling Gandhi Bhavan "
gadidala (donkey) bhavan", the students tried to barge into its premises. However, police foiled their attempts, and took them into custody. They were shifted to a nearby police station, and released later. (INN)
