Seemandhra Gearing up to Counter Sakala Janula Samme

Members of Samaikhyandhra Student JAC, leaders and activists of Telugu Desam Party and YSR Congress Party slammed Vijayawada MP, Lagadapati Rajagopal for stating that there is no need for United Andhra agitations as the union government has not yet decided to bifurcate the State.

Members staged protest in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue near Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) demanding withdrawal of Rajagopal's statement. Talking to media, Convener of Samaikhyandhra Student JAC, Adari Kishore Kumar said all leaders and activists of Student JAC in Seemandhra region extended support to Lagadapati when he had started agitation against bifurcation of the State in 2009. Kumar said Lagadapati wants to emerge as the only leader from the Seemandhra region fighting against bifurcation of the State.

Meanwhile, leaders and activists of TDP and YSR Congress Party said the centre has not yet announced that Andhra Pradesh would be united despite strong protests from Seemandhra region. People in Seemandhra have lost faith in Lagadapati after he made the statement dissuading students and other political leaders who have been staging protests against the bifurcation of the State, he said. To counter Sakala Janula Samme in Telangana region, leaders of various Joint Action Committees (JACs) and political parties will launch an agitation from Tuesday to keep Andhra Pradesh united, said Kumar.
 

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.
