Liberation Day: BJP to hold public meeting today
Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: In a bid to mount pressure on the State Government to officially organise the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations on September 17, the Bharatiya Janata Party city unit is organising a public meeting here on Thursday.
About 50,000 party activists from the 10 Telangana districts are likely to attend the meeting to be held at the Nizam College grounds. "We will also take out a massive procession to the Secretariat to bring pressure on the Government," the party's State Finance committee chairman, Ch. Ramachandra Reddy and city unit president Venkataramani said at a press conference here on Wednesday.
They came down heavily on the Government for delaying the official sanction to the celebrations ignoring the historic importance of the day. Ten districts of Telangana and parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka were united with the nation on September 17 1948, more than a year after it attained independence in August 1947. "We have been demanding the State Government to take the celebrations under its wings from 1998, but to no avail," they said.
