Hyderabad,Oct 28: As a part of `’ program initiated by Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief K Chandrasekhara Rao,he TRS floor leader in the assembly Etela Rajender organised the jail bharo program in front of the Karimnagar Collectorate on Wednesday. The Police arrested E Rajender along with 400 TRS activists to keep the situation under control.E Rajender speaking on the occasion asked Telugu Desam party chief N Chandrababu Naidu to make his views clear on the issue of free zone.He called Chandrababu as a backstabber of Telangana.In Sirisilla, the TRS activists hoisted a black flag on the Sirisilla RDO office while in Ramagundam, TRS MLA Eswar was taken into custody along with his supporters.
Elsewhere in the Telangana region,There were minor altercations between the police and TRS activists. In Mahabubnagar TRS activists led by K T Rama Rao got into argument with the police on duty, however the issue was settled peacefully with the police arresting the agitating TRS activists.Meanwhile in Siddipet there was a mild lathi charge by the police to bring the situation under control. MLA Harish Rao along with the TRS supporters were arrested to keep the situation tension free.
The reason for the revival of the issue of a separate Telangana and jail bharo by the TRS activists is the Supreme Court judgment of last week making Hyderabad city a “free zone” for recruitment of police, meaning the six-point formula,a guarantee given by the Centre, to protect the interests of people of Telangana in government recruitment will not be applicable in Hyderabad zone.
