Hyderabad, January 31 (INN): Telugu Desam Telangana Forum leader Motkupalli Narasimhulu and his supporters were arrested by the police when they staged a dharna at Tank Band in protest against the desecration of Dr BR Ambedkar’s statues.
Narasimhulu and TDP activists staged dharna in front of Ambedkar statue on Tankbund and obstructed the traffic. Raising slogans against the state government, the TDP activists demanded that the government take stern action against those responsible for such acts and take steps for not recur of such incidents in future.
Talking to reporters after his arrest, Narasimhulu said that the government should order a judicial probe into incident with a sitting High Court judge to get a comprehensive report on the incident. Holding Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy responsible for the incidents, he sought his apology to Dalit communities in this regard.
“The government should take immediate action against the culprits before the situation goes out of control in the State,” he demanded. (INN)
