Former Minister & ex-Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir said that the Congress party would not stop agitation until the State Government withdraws the proposed new Master Plan for Kamareddy Municipality.
He was speaking to media persons after he was arrested by the police for participating in the dharna organised by the all-party committee of farmers at Gandhi Chowk in Kamareddy on Friday. AICC Vice-President of Kisan Cell M.Kodanda Reddy, TPCC Kisan Cell Chairman Anvesh Reddy, DCC President Kailasa Srinivas, other senior leaders and hundreds of Congress activists also participated in the dharna. Later, they were arrested by the police.
Shabbir Ali said that the agitation against the proposed Master Plan would be intensified if the State Government failed to respond to their demand.
He strongly condemned the arrest of Congress leaders and workers since Friday morning because of the Kamareddy Bandh’s call given by the all-party committee. He said he had to change three vehicles to reach Kamareddy as police had barricaded all the routes to foil the agitation.
