KCR misleading people: BJP
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is trying to
establish a feudal system in the State, which people should oppose tooth
and nail, said BJP leader N. Vengugopal Reddy.
Shying
away from celebration Telangana Liberation Day, snubbing Kodandaram and
JAC and by refusing to honour the Ande Sri song that stirred the masses
during the separate Telangana movement, KCR was indirectly supporting
the feudal system and trying to establish it after it had gone.
People of Telangana liberated the region from the clutches of Nizam and valiantly fought against the feudal lords.
“Telangana
people should brace up once again now to fight against KCR and his
unilateral and autocratic rule,” Mr. Venugopal Reddy said.
He
found fault with Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao, who commented
against Mr. Amit Shah and Warangal public meeting. KCR demanded for
celebrations on September 17 while in the opposition.
But
after assuming power, he just ignored to do the same. “If BJP is making
similar demand, the TRS leaders are branding it as communal,” he said.
Staying
away from celebrations and commenting further amounted to humiliating
the people who fought against the feudal lords and Nizam. They gave
their life to free Telangana when Nizam refused to join Indian Union.
The
ruling TRS party was afraid of growing public patronage to the BJP that
was growing as an alternative to the ruling party in the State, he
observed.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif urged the U.S to intervene in the Kashmir issue.
Several U.S lawmakers expressed solidarity with India
in the wake of the terrorist attack on the Indian army base in Uri and
called for enhanced cooperation between the two countries to combat
terrorism. Statements by Senator Mark R. Warner, co-chair of the Senate
India Caucus, Senator Tom Cotton, Representatives Pete Sessions, Ted Poe
and Brad Sherman are yet another demonstration of the strong bipartisan
support for India on the Capitol Hill. Mr. Warner and Mr. Sherman are
Democrats while others are Republican.
Meanwhile,
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif urged the U.S to intervene in the
Kashmir issue. Mr. Sharif met Secretary of State John Kerry in New York
on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. While the State Department
issued several readouts though Monday, on the series of meetings that
Mr. Kerry had in New York with world leaders, there has been no word on
his meeting with Mr. Sharif. Pakistan's envoy to the UN Maleeha Lodhi
tweeted: "PM urged the US to play a role in the peaceful resolution of
the Kashmir dispute and highlighted human rights abuses in occupied
Kashmir.”
Mr. Warner, a strong voice in India’s
support, said. “I condemn the horrible terror attack against an Indian
Army Base in Uri in the State of Jammu & Kashmir, which resulted in
the death of 18 Indian soldiers. The terrorists who perpetrated this
cowardly act must be brought to justice. I extend condolences to the
family and friends of the Soldiers who lost their lives in the attack.”
“…terrorist
attack on Indian troops while they slept was a cowardly act, one that
deserves the strongest condemnation,” said Mr. Cotton. “The United
States and India share a vital interest in defending our democracies
from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism. Both our nations must
commit fully to deepening our security partnership so that radical
jihadists are defeated and stability in the region is maintained," he
said.
“I strongly condemn yesterday’s terrorist
attack in NW India. We will not let these attacks affect our united
fight against terrorism,” tweeted Mr. Sessions, who is also chairman of
House Rules Committee.
Mr. Poe, who is also Chairman
of House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Non Proliferation
and Trade said: “It is a reminder to democracies the world over that
terrorism seeks to destroy peace loving societies everywhere. It is
still unclear which terrorist group carried out this cowardly attack,
but one thing is certain. This is just the latest consequence of
Pakistan’s longstanding irresponsible policy of supporting and providing
operational space for all stripes of jihadi terrorist groups.
Pakistan’s reckless behaviour in this regard is a serious security risk
to its neighbours – and India unfortunately pays the price all too
often. We condemn this tragic attack, as well as Pakistan’s support for
many criminals like the ones who carried it out, and stand firm in our
commitment to our friends in India. A threat to democracy in India is a
threat to democracy everywhere. And that’s just the way it is.”
Mr.
Sherman, who is also Ranking Member of House Foreign Affairs
Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific said the attack is yet another
reminder of the threat international terrorism poses. “I strongly
encourage the governments in the region to make every effort to find the
terrorists that carried out these attacks and bring them to justice.
The United States should continue to assist these governments and ensure
they can eliminate terrorist threats,” he said.
