TRS to take part in Telangana march

The Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) declared here on Monday that it will take part in the Telangana March on September 30 in pursuance of a call given by the Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC).

Speaking to reporters at the Assembly, TRS MLA T Harish Rao said they would make the programme a success. "If the state government wants to suppress the movement by registering cases against T activists, they can, but it would only help bring more people into the movement," Rao said.

He demanded that the government officially celebrate Hyderabad liberation day and pass a resolution on Telangana issue in the Assembly. He dismissed chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's comments on adopting a resolution in the Assembly and said if it passes a resolution, it would help in bringing pressure on the Centre to take a decision on Telangana statehood.
