Kodandaram Threatens to Turn to Militancy

Peeved at the callousness of the state and the central government on the demand for separate state of Telangana after 11 days of mass general strike, the Telangana political JAC convener Prof. Kodandaram called upon the pro-Telangana activists to prepare to wage a militant struggle for attaining the separate state.

Addressing a media conference in Hyderabad, Kodandaram said that the congress and the Central government are unabashedly unmoved by the all people's strike aimed at achieving Telangana. "There is no other go for us except for waging a militant struggle to liberate our land," he told the cadres.

Criticizing the decision of the state government to go ahead with the conduct of the Group-1 examinations, he asked the government to postpone the APPSC examination to a further date. "How can you conduct the examination when the state is burning," he asked the government. He appealed to people to make the two day rail roko programme a grand success. He said the agitation would be intensified further from Monday.
