Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said the historic Telangana freedom struggle and sacrifices of the martyrs should be told to the future generations and the entire world. And, said it was “unfortunate” that the previous governments were “scared” to celebrate the ‘Liberation Day’ due to “vote bank politics” on September 17.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be complimented for taking the momentous decision to take up the celebrations through the culture ministry 75 years after the country’s independence and initiating a new precedent. We need to remember the valiant struggle against the Nizam, and the persons who laid down their lives and take inspiration for the State’s development,” he reiterated.
The Home Minister was addressing the gathering at the Parade Grounds after hoisting the national flag, taking salute to the ceremonial parade by contingents of the para-military forces like the CRPF, CISF and others on the occasion of celebrating Telangana Liberation Day for the second successive year at the venue. The State Government had organised a parallel “Unification Day” event separately at Public Gardens where Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao hoisted the national flag and took a salute from the police forces.
