Adilabad: Telangana JAC chairman Professor M. Kodandaram said, “The ongoing agitation in Seemandhra for a united state is akin to an acid attack on a girl by a jilted lover and then saying that the girl has every right to reject the proposal if she had no faith in that love!”
He said that people of Seemandhra are not against the formation of Telangana state and SC/ST and BCs have declared that they will not join the strike called for united state by APNGOs, but it is the leaders and some capitalists who are opposing the separate state.
Addressing a workshop organised by the Telangana United Teachers Federation (TUTF) here in Adilabad on Sunday, Prof. Kondandaram likened Seemandhra to a jilted lover and separate Telangana agitation to a girl and said separate Telangana agitation was a democratic one while the agitation for a united state was built on a hate campaign against the people of Telangana and that such a movement will not last.
He demanded that the Congress should constitute a Cabinet committee to look into the problems of Seemandhra instead. Some of the political parties are hesitating to present the problems of the Seemandhra people before the committees constituted by the Congress he said and strongly condemned the Seemandhra leaders' campaign against the Central government for announcing its decision in favour of separate Telangana without consulting the people of the all the regions and clearing the doubts they harboured regarding water and power distribution and Hyderabad.
Kodandaram said that the doubts of Seemandhra people can be resolved even after formation of the separate state or before introducing the bill on Telangna in Parliament. All disputes can be easily resolved according to laws in the Indian Constitution, he said.
