“We’ve moved a Privilege Motion against PM. Since Chairman isn’t here, Dy Chairman said he’ll pass it on to the Chairman for his decision….Later TRS decided to walk out of the House, pending the decision of the Chairman, until he comes and says what it is,” said Keshava Rao, TRS MP.
TRS and Congress politicians held state-wide rallies and protests in Telangana on Wednesday, and they even burned PM Modi’s effigies for his remarks opposing the formation of Telangana state. Several politicians asked that Modi apologise to the Telangana people for hurting their feelings.
“Utterly disgraceful of you Mr. Prime Minister repeatedly insulting the decades of spirited struggle & sacrifices of the people of Telangana. I strongly condemn the absurd comments of PM & demand that he apologise to the people of Telangana,” Telangana Minister tweeted, expressing his anguish after PM Modi’s remarks.
