Hyderabad: Telangana supporters on Wednesday organised rallies, sit-ins and other forms of protest as part of the ongoing general strike in the region in support of the demand for statehood. Raising slogans in support of their demand, the Telangana supporters across the region held protests demanding that the Centre concede the separate statehood demand at the earliest.
Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC) convener M Kodandaram asked the people to raise the Telangana demand during Vijayadasami celebrations tomorrow.
The JAC has given a call for burning the effigy of ruling Congress during the `Ravan dahan` celebrations tomorrow. Talking about the reported comments of Union Minister Pranab Mukherjee that accepting Telangana demand would give rise to similar demands elsewhere in the country, the JAC convener felt that they did not amount to rejection of the demand.
