Hyderabad:
Unhappy over the outcome of the all-party meeting on the issue of
statehood for Telangana, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has
called for a shutdown in the region Saturday.
Emerging from the all-party meeting in New Delhi Friday, TRS chief
K. Chandrasekhara Rao called for the shutdown to protest the
central government's "delaying tactics".
KCR, as the MP is popularly known, alleged that the Congress was
continuing its "drama" over Telangana. "They have said this
hundred times during last three years," he said on union Home
Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's statement that a decision would be
taken within a month.
"If the Congress party is sincere, it could have taken a decision
by today evening," he added.
The TRS leader termed the all-party meeting a "futile" exercise,
saying that the parties only reiterated their old stands.
The TRS has appealed to people of Telangana to voluntarily observe
a shutdown Saturday to strongly voice their sentiments.
Osmania University students' Joint Action Committee and Telangana
secretariat employees' association have backed the TRS call for
shutdown.
