Infuriated by the Home Minister P Chidambaram
washing his hands off the issue of withdrawal of police cases registered against students, leaders of the Telangana Students Joint Action Committee on Thursday said that they do not have faith in him anymore.
Talking to media persons, the TSJAC leaders expressed their anger at Chidambaram's statements, and said that the Union Home Minister had assured that all cases filed against students would be withdrawn after his
assurance of a separate Telangana state on 9 December 2009.
The TSJAC leaders accused Chidambaram of going back on his words by saying that the withdrawal of cases against the students rested with the state government. They said that the his words were 'not correct'.
The student leaders also said that they have lost faith in the Centre, as the government has kept changing its statements according to the situation.
The TSJAC leaders pointed out that even after 9 months following the Dec 9 statement, Telangana remains a dream. They reaffirmed their vow to continue their fight for a separate Telangana state, and said that they are not afraid of more cases being filed against them.
The leaders further warned the MPs from Telugu Desam Party to resign or meet the same fate as meted out to the party's senior leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy.
Janardhan Reddy was
beaten up by the students inside Osmania University Campus when he went there to offer his party's support to their cause.
