Raising slogans against the Congress government, Front Chairman and revolutionary singer Gaddar demanded that the Centre introduces Telangana Bill in the Parliament, withdraw paramilitary forces from the region, lift all police cases foisted on the people who participated in statehood agitation and protect local resources from exploitation by the Seemandhra leaders.
Gadar appealed to the Collectors to provide information, under the Right to Information Act, about the release of funds for welfare activities for the past 10 years particularly for SC/ST/BC; amount spent on various activities and details of land leases, allotment to private firms in Hyderabad and their usage.
Leaders from various walks of life also participated in the dharna expressing solidarity to Gadar.
