T Congress Leaders Mull Over What to do Next

With the Congress high command having disapproved of their toeing the line of the TRS and the Telangana Political JAC, the Congress leaders are in dilemma with regard to their future course of action. They cannot take back their resignations in the wake of no assurance from the high command. In such circumstances, they are hoping that the Lok Sabha speaker delays taking a decision on their resignations as much as possible.

However, the leaders insisted that they could not go back on their resignations. Rajya Sabha MP K Keshava Rao said: "there will be no rethinking on the resignations. The resignations by more than 100 elected representatives for a cause is unparalleled in history. Nowhere in the world has such a step been taken." He said the unity of the Telangana leaders on the issue of separate state was unprecedented and unbreakable.

In the meantime, the Telangana Congress MLAs too maintained a low profile on Thursday. Apart from meeing the Congress MPs, Jana Reddy also had a meeting with Telangana Political JAC convenor M Kodandaram. None of the Telangana ministers who resigned attended office on Thursday while most of the Seema-Andhra ministers too, except for Botsa Satyanarayana, Vatti Vasant Kumar, Kanna Lakshminarayana and Anam ramnarayan Reddy, preferred to stay away.

 

 

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
