Telangana Congress will celebrate September 17, the day Hyderabad State was merged into the Indian Union and celebrated as the liberation day, year long marking its 75th anniversary.
The Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy called upon the Congress cadre to celebrate it year long as it was necessary that the sacrifices of people’s fight against the Nizam rule should be remembered and the younger generation should be made aware of the heroics of their forefathers. “Explain the sacrifices of the Congress leaders and their role in ensuring that Hyderabad remained with India after it attained freedom,” he said.
Revanth Reddy, who was speaking to the media at Munugode along with senior leaders N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, K. Jana Reddy, R. Damodar Reddy and others, demanded the Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekhar Rao to officially celebrate the day on behalf of the State government as well. He said the CM when he was not in power accused the Congress party of not officially celebrating the day has remained silent in the last eight years despite being in power. “Whom was he trying to please while insulting the sacrifices of the Telangana,” he asked.
