It must be recalled that a total of 24 (12 in Telangana region and 12 in Andhra region) residential Urdu Medium Schools and 5 (2 in Telangana and 3 in Andhra) Residential Urdu Medium Junior Colleges were established in United Andhra Pradesh but thanks to the anti- Urdu and anti-Muslim attitude of some high officials all the colleges and schools have been converted into English medium.
Parents of students and Urdu lovers informed Siasat editor Mr. Zahed Ali Khan regarding this. It was found out that a planned conspiracy to end Urdu medium schools and colleges in Andhra and Telangana is being worked upon in different phases. During YSR period in the name of imparting education to poor students in standard English Schools corresponding classes were started. The effort to close Urdu medium schools intensified two years ago, when an anti-Muslim high official cleverly allotted half seats for Urdu medium and half to English medium then gradually the Urdu was replaced by English as medium of instruction. Thus minority students are denied admission and non minority students are given admission into minority colleges by changing its medium.
