A group opposing the proposed Andhra Pradesh bifurcation has threatened to lay siege to Hyderabad city, when a draft bill for the formation of a separate Telangana state will be tabled in the Assembly.
The Samaikya Rashtra Parirakshana Vedika held a meeting in the city on Saturday, when the decision was made.
SRPV chairman Ashok Babu said they would call for laying siege to Hyderabad with the slogan "occupy Hyderabad" during the Assembly session.
The central government is likely to send the draft bill for formation of Telangana state to the AP assembly later this month.
Ashok Babu, who also happens to be the leader of the APNGOs, urged the staff to be ready for a million march in Hyderabad.
He alleged that the police have created hurdles in the meeting.
"This is the situation in united Andhra Pradesh. When Hyderabad will be made joint capital, I think, separate roads will be earmarked for people from Seemandhra," he quipped.
He said that the APNGOs would meet November 24 to chalk out its future course of action.
Tension prevailed at the meeting venue when Telangana activists tried to disrupt it.
While TRS and other pro-Telangana group protestors raised the "Jai Telangana" slogans, the anti-bifurcation supporters countered with shouts of "Jai Samaikyandhra".
The 2 groups nearly came to blows.
Police arrested the protestors and forcibly removed them from the venue.
