Hyderabad: Dy. CM of Telangana State, Mr. Mohammed Mahmood Ali told that Government has no intention to interfere in the religious matters. “Nikah” is a religious ceremony.
He further told that Mr. KCR is a secular leader and the people of India termed him as the 5th Gandhi. He respects all the religions. The welfare of the people is his prime objective.
