Hyderabad, July 31: Muslims were the part of the Non-Mulki Movement during the reign of Nawab Mir Osmain Ali Khan in 1953. They were also the participants of the Telangana Movement in 1969. Muslims are the king makers. The Congress Party persuaded Dr. Chenna Reddy to withdraw from the Telangana Movement fearing the decisive role of the Muslims.
The central Govt. will not take any action to bifurcate A.P. State to form Telangana until violent activities are started. Mr. Jagdish Arya, who threw a bomb on H.E.H. The Nizam of Hyderabad under a conspiracy. He is now being recommended for an award.
This state of affairs is highly deplorable. Muslims are the worst victims of the formation of A.P. He questioned that what was the mistake of the Late Nizam. Did he establish Osmania Hospital, Osmania University, High Court, Assembly only for the Muslims or the entire public?
The congress is dilly dallying on the formation of Telangana state because it doesn’t want the Muslims to get the status of king makers if Telangana is formed. These thoughts were expressed by Mr. Osman Shaheed, Advocate in a meeting of the Muslim intellectuals held at press club yesterday.
Mr. Syed Tariq Quadri, Secretary, Soofi Academy said that the Muslims are the worst sufferers in the A.P. State.
