Naidu Unleashes Private Army on Telangana Lawyers

The underlying malevolence and hatred the Seemandhra leadership has towards the Telangana people was demonstrated the other day, when Chandrababu Naidu’s private army brutally attacked and injured members of the Telangana lawyers forum at Indira Park in Hyderabad.

The crime for which the lawyers were subjected to skull cracking blows from Naidu’s soldiers was asking him, to spell out his stand on the status of a separate Telangana state. It was these inflammatory words “Telangana state” that acted as the red flag for the violence that was unleashed on the lawyers.

The incident highlighted the benign patronage the anti Telangana forces enjoy in the State of AP, the police forces which were present on the spot were mute spectators to this mayhem and later swung into action by arresting the lawyers, the victims of this hate wave and let Naidu’s henchmen go free.

Not only this, protests by Telangana citizens against this incident across the region were disrupted by the police and the voice of the people silenced. In the last two days the state administration went on a spree arresting lawyers and those supporting them, the list of people arrested includes scores of advocates in Hyderabad, Nizamabad, Adilabad, not only this about 50 youths who were protesting the arrest of the advocates were taken into preventive custody.

While the police went all out to arrest all those speaking against Naidu’s private army the guilty were roaming the city free as birds, secure in the patronage they enjoy in the sate of AP and the knowledge that not a finger of law will dare to touch them. The same force that used rubber pellets, water canons, and lathi’s to control a students proposed march, watches silently as Naidu’s army cracks skulls and breaks bones. The same state administration which gives the excuse of buses being burnt and stoned, to deploy the elite greyhound force in Osmania University looks the other way when private armies are let loose on peaceful demonstrations.
And to add salt to the wounds of Telangana, no action has been taken till date save the arrest of a couple of minor minions of Naidu two days after the event. This incident has shown to the Nation that there is no justice for Telangana people in Andhra Pradesh, and it is in the interests of humanity and social justice that Telangana be formed.

If the Seemandhra people and the state administration believe, that they can scare us into silence on the demand for a separate state, then they are sadly mistaken. Instances like this will reinforce our determination to carve out our destiny and our state of Telangana.


Jai Telangana. Jai Hind
