TJAC Sakala Janula Samme to Begin With Jana Garjana

As a prelude to the 'Sakala Janula Samme' from 13 September, Telangana JAC has planned to organize a huge public meeting named 'Telangana Jana Garjana' at Karimnagar on 12 September.

Government employees in the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh will go on indefinite strike from Sep 13 as part of 'Sakala Janula Samme'. The steering committee of Telangana employees joint action committee (JAC) on Saturday decided to serve the strike notice on the government on Monday. The employees also decided to stage lunch-hour protests from Monday to mobilise support for the strike, which was earlier deferred twice.

The  'Sakala Janula Samme' or maas strike by all sections of the society seeking statehood was originally planned to start on Aug 17 with a demand that the central government initiate the process for carving out a Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh. The JAC deferred the strike to Sep 6 following appeals from Muslim groups to postpone it in view of the holy month of Ramzan. The JAC once again postponed the strike in view of Ganesh festivities, which began on Sep 1 and lasted till Sep 11.

Now that these hurdles are cleared, the JAC plans to intensify its agitation for a separate state. Starting with Jana Garjana, all cinema halls in the region would be shut on Sep 14 and 15. There would be a blockade of national highways on Sep 17 and rail blockade on Sep 22. Telangana activists will lay siege to the offices of the district collectors on Sep 25. As part of final phase of its agitation, the JAC plans to lay siege to Hyderabad in October. JAC convenor M. Kodandaram said the strike would bring the administration to halt, affect services like electricity supply and transport while schools and colleges would also shut down.

 

 

 

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.
