Kavita Among Dozens Held At Assembly

The police, on Tuesday, arrested Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha and other activists, when they tried to picket the state legislative Assembly along with government lecturers.

After expressing solidarity with the members of the Telangana Lecturers' Sangham, who were on a dharna at the Telangana Martyrs' Memorial at Gun Park, Kavita and some government lecturers formed a human chain in front of the Assembly, blocking the entire traffic.

Later, raising "Jai Telangana" slogans, Kavita tried to barge into the Assembly premises.

However, the police personnel deputed there foiled their plans and took them into custody. Kavita and the agitating lecturers had a heated argument with the police, and raised slogans against them.

All the arrested activists were later shifted to a nearby police station.

Kavita also condemned the police action on students of Osmania University and Nizam college students on Monday. She alleged that the state government was trying to use force to suppress the Telangana agitation. (INN)
