'IPL will divert Telangana movement'

The much-hyped Indian Premier League cricket tournament still continues to face the ire of Telangana activists, despite an assurance from the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and its sponsored outfit Joint Action Committee.

Apparently realising that the Deccan Chargers management had “bribed” the TRS leadership to ensure that there is no disruption to the IPL matches in Hyderabad, the Telangana students under the banner of the Telangana Research Scholars’ Forum threatened that they would not allow any IPL matches to be held in Hyderabad.

“The matches will only divert the attention of the people from Telangana movement to cricket. The people of Telangana are worried about the separate state demand and not the cricket matches,” the forum leader said.

The Telangana activists further said the Hyderabad Cricket Association was turning a blind eye towards Telangana players and was only encouraging Andhra players and children of businessmen. What is worse, crores of rupees was being looted from Telangana in the name of betting, they alleged.
