The Andhra Government under the directions of the Raj Bhawan in Hyderabad, appears to be hell bent on sowing the seeds for the next generation of extremist leaders in the country. The brutality unleashed by the Andhra Administration, to crush the democratic demand for the state of Telangana nee Hyderabad, was either the response of a frightened lobby to protect its ill gotten wealth or a well planned strategy to push the youth of Hyderabad into the arms of the extremists. The words and actions of the State and the Leadership at the center point to the latter, as it will then justify the Government’s lie of naxal and maoist influence in the demand for a separate state.
Stories of the police brutality are slowly emerging from the student community in Osmania University, the nerve center of the Telangana agitation. Speaking to a panel of jury members conducting a public hearing into police violence in Osmania University, students narrated the trauma of being at the receiving end of the Seemandhra sponsored police atrocities. One of the victims a girl pursuing her masters described she and her group of her friends all girls were stoned by the security forces within the University campus, and how the stoning continued even after they displayed their identity cards. Another girl student, recounted the horror of being molested and mercilessly lathicharged when she along with her friends went to the aid of their fellow students in other hostels who were being manhandled by the police. The students were first mercilessly beaten and then arrested under false cases, all for exercising their democratic right, in asking for self determination and self expression.
If the girl students were molested and lathi charged, the story of the treatment meted out to the boy’s is hair raising, students who were active in the movement were identified and individually targeted in their home towns and villages. One student recalled how he was forcibly pulled out of a barber shop and arrested. While another recounted, how he was accosted by a dozen policemen on bikes and produced before a magistrate in the early hours of the morning. The most horrendous case is that of Andalamma, her son was pulverized by 20 policemen who stormed into their house in the wee hours, he is still in hospital after two months!
Each and every instance of police atrocity has laid bare the Andhra Government’s heinous intention to destroy the spirit of an entire generation, most of whom are first generation learners in their family, and had entered the portals of the University, with the ideal of changing the system and their lives. Contrast this with the state’s response to the week long communal flare-up in the twin cities last month, a handful of arrests that too of minor minions. The same police force which shot rubber bullets at hapless students watched as mute spectators while the miscreants went on a rampage burning and pillaging. AK Khan, the DG of police, who led the ruthless carnage against the hapless students, was photographed playing cricket in front of the Charminar, just to show all was peaceful, while the city was erupting in flames. It is a blackday for the Nation, when democratic protests have to face the wrath and carnage of its might while anti social elements flourish and prosper under the state’s patronage.
The Government, seems to be hell bent on fulfilling its prophesy of Naxal and Maoist infiltration on the Telangana struggle, only difference is they by their actions are driving the student community into the arms of the extremists. Chidambaram and the Seemandhra protégé Narasimhan, are guilty of attempting to destroy the psychological fiber of an entire generation of Hyderabad, by their heinous acts against the students and the people of Hyderabad, who are demanding their fundamental right to self determination as guaranteed by the constitution of India. It is high time the Government at the center realized that by dancing to the tunes of the Seemandhra contractor and land mafia, it is creating future Dantewada’s in Hyderabad.
The people of Hyderabad are peace loving and we will wrest our state from the clutches of the Seemandhra’s in peace and in line with the provisions of the Indian Constitution and any attempts to detract us from this path should be labeled anti national and dealt with accordingly.
Jai Hyderabad. Jai Hind
