Large flexi banners were erected in Kareem Nagar District in connection with Telangana Formation Day. Mushaira program was announced on 3rd June night. On the stage various cultural programs were presented. At last, at 11 p.m. Mushaira was started. Before the inauguration of Mushaira, Finance Minister, Mr. E. Rajender told that KCR is the first Urdu knowing CM and he is taking interest in the promotion of Urdu. Mr. Rajender perhaps does not know that the first CM of Hyderabad State, Mr. B. Rama Krishna Rao and later Mr. P.V. Narasimha Rao, Dr. M. Channa Reddy, Mr. T. Anjayya were all Urdu knowing CMs.
By organizing Mushaira and Qawali programs, Govt. of Telangana thinks that it is promoting Urdu. In all the banners erected in the town there was no Urdu. Many competent Urdu poets of Kareem Nagar were not invited. Partiality is being observed in all these programs. Govt. is making vast propaganda about the development of Urdu but no practical actions are being taken for the progress of Urdu.
