Hyderabad: Andhra
Pradesh Police Tuesday filed a case against Telangana leaders K.
Chandrasekhara Rao and M. Kodandaram for their alleged offensive
remarks, an official said.
A case under Indian Penal Code's section 153 A (Promoting enmity
between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of
birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to
maintenance of harmony) was booked against them at Arandelpeta
police station in Guntur.
The case against Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief
Chandrasekhara Rao and Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC)
convenor M. Kodandaram was booked on a complaint by a leader of
Samaikhya Andhra Joint Action Committee (SAJAC).
The complainant alleged that the two Telangana leaders made
offensive comments at a public meeting in Hyderabad Monday.
Meanwhile, two complaints were made against the Telangana leaders
at police stations in Hyderabad and Vijayawada.
Congress legislator and government whip Jayaprakash Reddy lodged a
complaint at Gandhi Nagar police station in Hyderabad.
A police officer said the complainant alleged that Chandrasekhara
Rao used unparliamentary language. He said further action would be
taken after taking legal opinion.
Congress leader A. Jayaprakash also lodged a complaint against
Telangana leaders at Machavaram police station in Vijayawada. He
demanded that the police register sedition case against
Chandrasekhara Rao and arrest him immediately.
He alleged that the TRS chief was creating hatred among people of
the two regions of the state and also belittled parliament and the
prime minister.
Police said they would seek legal opinion before taking further
action.
