Health Minister Danam Nagender on Tuesday demanded that the Ministers who vehemently criticized the pioneers of Telangana movement tender an unconditional apology.
Danam said the Seema-Andhra ministers have hurt the sentiments of Telangana people by making such statements. Although democracy gives them a right to speech, their utterances should not hurt the sentiments of their brothers who are living in the same state.
Referring to the recent byelections, the Minister opined that the results have amply proved that the people of Telangana have a strong desire for separate state.
Switching over to the Jagan’s issue, he observed that the High Command has not sent any instruction to the party or cadres to keep off YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s Odarpu Yatra.
``Our sincere desire is that Jagan should act according to the instructions of Congress High Command putting at rest all other speculations. The same thing was conveyed to him by many of us.’’
Asked whether the party leadership might consider Jagan for the PCC chief post, Nagender said let the high Command take a decision first, they will come to know who should head the Congress in the state.
