Hyderabad, October 27: A group of Osmania University students and other Telangana supporters today tried to force their way into the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat, protesting against the State Formation Day celebrations on November 1.
The policemen, guarding the city Secretariat, were taken by surprise as the pro-Telangana students, arrived at the entrance of the Secretariat, with some of them climbing over the main gate.
The protesters resisted the attempts of police to take them into custody, but the policemen managed to remove them from the place.
The OU students, TRS, Joint Action Committee (JAC) of various people’s organisations and balladeer Gaddar’s Telangana Praja Front have called upon Telangana people to observe November 1 as “betrayal day”.
Meanwhile, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao condemned the police action against the students, a TRS release said.
