Hailing the state government's announcement of lifting all police cases against students and agitators who took part in the separate statehood agitation, Nizamabad MP Madhu Yaskhi Goud on Wednesday demanded the withdrawal of central paramilitary forces from the state immediately.
Talking to media persons at his residence, the MP said he did not fear any law and order problem in the state even after the submission of Justice B N Srikrishna Commission's report on December 31.
Goud accused the governor E S L Narasimhan and DGP K Aravinda Rao of having played a key role in the deployment of central paramilitary forces to curb protests which may arise in the aftermath of submission of the panel's report.
He said the MPs would continue their agitation for the withdrawal of forces in the state.
Goud further pointed out that the all leaders, cutting across party lines, would agitate for the Telangana state, if the Srikrishna Commission's report is unfavourable on the issue of statehood.
"If they want to suppress the Telangana agitation, they can first target the Telangana Congress leaders with their bullets," he said.
The MP added that Congress leaders are ready to submit their resignations from their posts for the cause of a separate Telangana state.
Goud also lashed out against the Telugu Desam Party for terming the MPs' hunger fast for lifting police cases against students as a 'political drama'.
Reacting to the statement of former Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy that the state government has totally failed in redressing farmers' problems, the Nizamabad MP sought to ask him whether he finds fault in the farmers' schemes launched by his father and former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
