TPCC condemns arrest of Varavara Rao, Haragopal

Tpcc Vice-President Dr. Mallu Ravi has strongly condemned the arrested of Telangana Democratic Front leaders Varavara Rao and Prof. Haragopal.

Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday, Mallu Ravi said that both the leaders were arrested while they were proceeding to address a meeting in Warangal on Tuesday. He reminded that Prof. Haragopal had played an active and crucial role during the statehood movement. He said Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had claimed before elections that his agenda was of naxalites agenda. However, he said KCR has been specifically targeting the leaders who made several sacrifices during Telangana movement.

Mallu Ravi said that the Chief Minister appears to be on a mission to wipe out all his opponents. He said that the Osmania University students had played a major role in Telangana formation. However, KCR now wants to suppress any other movement in the OU campus. For the same reason, he said that the State Government has installed CC cameras in the entire campus at a cost of Rs. 9 crore. He also condemned KCR's statement wherein he threatened to send opposition leaders to jail if they criticise him.
