Hyderabad: A rally by
the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) created mild tension here
Saturday with the police arresting its leaders and activists for
trying to advance towards the state secretariat, an official said.
Andhra Pradesh state BJP president G. Kishan Reddy, senior leader
Bandaru Dattatreya and other leaders and activists were arrested
by the police at Indira Park.
The party had organised the rally to protest to what it called
attempts by Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) to hurt religious
sentiments of Hindus. It alleged that the Congress government had
become a tool in the hands of MIM.
The rally started from Baghlingam Pally and was to conclude at
Indira Park but the protestors tried to march towards secretariat.
There was tension as the police stopped the rally and the
protestors entered into an argument with police.
Earlier, Kishan Reddy alleged that MIM was stalling the
development work of Bhagyalakshmi Temple abutting the historic
Charminar. He alleged Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy was
following diktats of the MIM.
The BJP leader also found fault with Telugu Desam Party and the
Left parties for their silence over the MIM activities.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court earlier this week had directed the
government not to allow expansion work at the temple. It was
dealing with public interest litigations filed by three MIM
leaders.
The expansion work at the temple abutting the monument had last
week sparked tension in the communally sensitive old city.
