JAC to intensify Telangana stir

With  a view to intensifying the Telangana agitation, Prof Kodandaram, convener of the political Joint Action Committee proposes to take up the Telangana Udyama Yatra from March 9. The  10-day Udyama Yatra will start in Vikarabad. The MLAs who resigned theri seats will take part in the Yatra.

Speaking to the media after the JAC meeting here on Saturday, Kodandram urged the Government to lift all cases pending against the students who took part in the recent Telangana movement.

Referring to the by-elections in Telangana, he opined that  ``it is really tragic to learn that Congress is planning to field its candidates. Those who will contest against the JAC candidates will be treated 'traitors' of  Telangana.’’

``Srikrishna panel is not of much use to the Telangana people,’’ the convener added.
