MIM urges center to intervene on T issue

The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) today urged the Centre to intervene in the present imbroglio over Telangana issue.

“The issue is going out of hands as youngsters and police are frustrated due to the promises given by Telangana leaders day in and day out that Telangana would be a reality in a few days,” MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said at the party headquarters.

Owaisi said that over the last few days, the Telangana agitation has acquired such proportions, that it might lead to violence. “Therefore, the Centre should intervene and take stock of the situation,” he said.

“The frequent bandh calls given by separatist groups are putting everyone to hardships, particularly the daily bread earners, and I strongly oppose such bandhs in the interest of common people,” he said.

Saying that BJP will be ultimately benefited in case a separate state is carved out, Owaisi said that MIM has already given its opinion to the Srikrishna Commission on Telangana issue.

The MIM leader however clarified that his organisation is not opposed to the demand for separate Telangana state and demanded that its views and recommendations should be taken into consideration before the Union government takes any decision on it.
