Hyderabad, September 15: Telugu Desam Party legislators hailing from Telangana region have urged the state government to officially celebrate Hyderabad State Liberation Day (September 17).
A delegation of TDP MLAs led by Nagam Janardhana Reddy and K Hareeshwar Reddy met Chief Minister K Rosaiah at his residence late tonight and submitted a memorandum listing their demand.
“The Chief Ministers response has not been favourable.We will meet at our party office tomorrow and decide on the future course of action,” Nagam told newsmen at the end of their meeting with Rosaiah.
The TDP legislators also registered their strong protest with the Chief Minister over the manner in which police personnel blocked their entry into the State Police Headquarters here this evening when they went to submit a memorandum to the Director General of Police.
“This is not the way to treat MLAs. We are not anti-social elements nor are we carrying bombs or explosives.They could have searched our vehicles and let us in,” the MLAs told the Chief Minister. The issue would be referred to the Privileges Committee of the state Legislature, Nagam said.
The TDP leaders went to the DGPs office this evening to submit a petition seeking action against TRS and BJP leaders responsible for the attack on N Chandrababu Naidus convoy in Ranga Reddy district yesterday.
As DGP K Aravinda Rao was away in Bengaluru, Nagam called him over phone and told him about their demand. As they were prevented from going into the DGPs office, the TDP leaders affixed their petition to the office main entrance gate.
