Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making ‘disrespectful’ comments in Parliament on Telangana martyrs and their sacrifices. Rahul Gandhi said that Modi’s comments are an insult to the state’s existence and self-respect.
“Prime Minister Modi’s speech without honoring the martyrs of Telangana and their sacrifices is an insult to Telangana’s existence and self-respect,” the MP said in a post on X.
Addressing Parliament on Monday, Modi said that separation of Telangana from AP is bitter and bloodshed compared to celebrations in all states where BJP governments have been formed. TPCC chief Revanth Reddy hit back at Modi, saying his words reflect his hatred for the state.
Meanwhile, it is known that the inauguration ceremony of the new Parliament building was held on Tuesday. Earlier on Monday, a discussion was held on ’75 Years of Parliamentary Journey’ in the Central Hall of Old Parliament. It was inaugurated by Modi. At this time, the Prime Minister mentioned the issue of formation of Telangana.
Telangana was formed in this Parliament building. But it didn’t go well. Telangana could not be formed like Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh states were formed during Vajpayee’s regime. The three states formed at that time according to the plan. All regions celebrated with this. But due to the improper division of Andhra Pradesh during the UPA regime, when Telangana was separated from AP, there was a gulf between the two states, blood was spilled’, he said.
He said that both the people of Telangana and the people of AP did not celebrate. Leaders across Telangana are throwing a tantrum over Modi’s comments. They are angry that Modi is once again spewing poison on Telangana.
