Congress leaders face ire of pro-Telangana protesters

Hyderabad: Tension prevailed at Indira Park late last night when a group of pro-Telangana activists gheraoed three Congress leaders of the region and allegedly pelted stones at their vehicles.

A group of pro-Telangana activists raised slogans against Congress MPs — Ponnam Prabhakar and G Vinod — as well as senior party leader K Keshava Rao when they went to Indira Park to express solidarity with protesters staging a 36-hour ‘samaradeeksha’ protest over the Telangana statehood issue.

However, the situation was brought under control after Telangana-Joint Action Committee (T-JAC) chairman M Kodandaram and other Telangana leaders intervened and pacified the protesters.

T-JAC today began a 36-hour protest demanding the Centre to announce a separate state at the earliest.
