Lok Satta Party president Jayaprakash Narayan has urged Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K.Chandrasekhar Rao to drop his plan for fast unto death seeking Telangana State.
Responding to TRS Legislature leader E. Rajender’s letter seeking Lok Satta’s support for the programme, Dr. Narayan in his reply said that Lok Satta firmly believed that such fast has no place in a constitutional democracy. He said TRS was entitled to launch any movement to accomplish the political goals they believed in, as long as it was democratic, peaceful and without disrupting harmony among people.
He also said separate Telangana State would not solve region’s problems and real solution would be in providing equal growth and livelihood opportunities to all and direct empowerment of people with devolution of resources and responsibilities. He said there was no free zone issue at all as the recent Supreme Court verdict was in accordance with Presidential Order of 1975 and undoing the latter would go against public interest.
Doublespeak
Sangareddy Staff Reporter adds: Congress MLA T. Jayaprakash Reddy said that the party was geared up to thwart any violent incidents that may arise following the proposed fast.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, the Congress MLA said that the TRS president had warned about situation going out of control once the fast commenced which was nothing but doublespeak. “Chandrasekhar Rao who spoke about peaceful agitation is now talking differently,” he said.
