TRS to Snap Ties With TJAC

TRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao has reportedly decided to snap ties with TJAC giving rise to many piquant questions on the future of Telangana movement. TRS party sources say that KCR took the extreme decision following TJAC convenor Kodandaram's unilateral decision to bring all T-forces under one umbrella.

Differences have cropped up between KCR and Kodanadaram time and again for one reason or the other. While TRS sources say that KCR was upset with Kodandaram's move to rally all the T forces, TJAC claims that Kodandaram was upset with the manner in which KCR dominated the steering committee meetings in which leaders from the TRS and JAC took part. However, it was T-JAC that struck first by staying away from the rasta roko held by the TRS on May 14 and the protests outside mandal headquarters on May 19. On Monday, Kodandaram decided to cancel the meeting that was scheduled to be held between the Telangana Students' JAC and the TRS.

The bone of contention between TJAC and KCR is that the JAC, despite the TRS chief's disapproval, took part in the meetings organised by Nagam in Mahbubnagar in the second week of May. "Till T-JAC comes out with a clear stand on its support to TRS and Nagam's agitation, KCR will not meet the JAC leaders," a TRS leader said. On the other hand, TJAC spokesman C Vithal put the blame on KCR stating that the TRS has taken up its agitational programmes without consulting the JAC.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
