The beaten DGP & his debased drama

The administration resorted to most ruthless police action at Village, Mandal, Distrct and State level to prevent people coming to Hyderabad for the March. They wanted to make it a dismal failure, to avenge their failures in the hands of Telangana people earlier. They have binded over, taken in to custody and arrested about a lakh people throughout the state. They made a big research on the leadership and detained key people at all levels. They even had to resort to the most shameful act of binding over University girl students. They erected road blocks at every conceivable point throughout the region and in The city and viciously prevented the people to go to the March. This could be the most despotic police action in the history of the state. Yet the rank and file of Telangana people, depleted of their leadership by the detention of police, rose to the occasion, improvising the means to circumvent the barricades and descended on Tank bund at the appointed time. Later much of their leadership also found their way to the venue. It was the triumph of the will of Telangana people over the tyranny of State government.

Now let us ponder over the discordant incidents that took place at Tank bund.

1. The angry protest against the congress MPs is not surprising. If the JAC leadership was present adequately at the time, the incident would not have blown up so much. But it was a natural reaction of a beleaguered Telanganites for the earlier theatrics of these honchos and their Party. There is no need to blow it out of proportion, as our andhras want it. This was acknowledged by the chastened MPs themselves. It would be better, if T-Congress elements learn a suitable lesson from out of the incident.

2. The matter of breaking of the statues and destroying the cameras of journalists in the process is a serious matter. It is not serious because it is a sacrilegious act as some puritan thinkers are saying. The composition of statues on Tank bund was an exhibition of Andhra chauvinism, installed by that megalomaniac NTR. It was the heartburn for Telanganites and was a dent on their self respect. Though many Telanganites do not support the vandalism, they will be very happy and wish in their hearts of hearts to remove some of the undeserving andhra statues and replace them with more deserving legendary figures of Telangana.

The catch here is, whether it was done by Telanganites? The JAC is too puritanical to allow that kind of activity. All the Telangana groups were harassed by police to no end and were struggling very hard to find their way to Tank bund, guarded by about 12000 Police. They were not certain, whether the proposed March woud take place or not. It is also doubtful whether they have the wherewithal and audacity to carry out such a daring act? This act might have taken not less than one hour time.How come that police have withdrawn from the site of the act and have allowed it to happen in all that time. It sounds very mysterious, that such a heavy presence of police with ruthless intention would have failed to notice it unless they deliberately overlooked it. In the first place when so much herculean effort was made by police to prevent people to come here, why they have so easily let people on to the Tankbund at the time of this happening?

The circumstantial evidence suggests that, It could have been planned and executed by the police to discredit Telangana Struggle and subject it to more draconian treatment to suppress it. The utterances of DGP, that Maoists would have an hand in it gives credence to such a possibility. If Telanganites did it, they would have targeted the statue of K B Reddy the butcher of Telangana in 1969, first. Telanganites have nothing against Krishnadevaraya, Annamayya etc, and they definitely will not attack S.Pratap Reddy. The vandalism is reprehensible and definitely is not the handiwork of Telanganites. The responsibility for the incident entirely vests with the DGP.

3. The incidence of destruction of vans of TV9 and Ntv is another serious matter. These two channels were not behaving resposnsibly towards Telangana and its struggle. They were very callously trying to scuttle Telangana struggle with their andhra bias since a very long time. They were inviting this kind of trouble with the tacit support of all andhra government. They got it for their un professional and un ethical work, as the saying goes ‘as you sow so you reap’. They deserve much more serious treatment, than this to make them mend their ways. It could also be the handiwork of Police, to discredit Telangana Struggle. There is no need for Telangana people to regret much on the incident.

The DGP has utterly failed in his gargantuan attempt to prevent the ‘Million March’. Now it appears that the andhra administration has hatched a plan to make use of this ‘March’ and created the incidents on Tank bund to bring in a measure like ‘President Rule’ to suppress Telangana Struggle or something of that sort. At least now all the T-Congress elements come together and present a united front with their High command.
