Telangana BJP Moves Adjournment Motion for Official Sept 17 Liberation Day

<p>The Telangana BJP on Wednesday moved an adjournment motion notice in the state Legislative Assembly, demanding that the state government officially mark Telangana Liberation Day on September 17.</p>
<p>A day earlier, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy had expressed regret that the occasion has not received the same recognition across Telangana as liberation days celebrated in other regions of the country. Reddy made those remarks while reviewing preparations at Parade Grounds in Hyderabad, where Liberation Day celebrations are scheduled to be held on September 17.</p>
<p>"Telangana achieved liberation on September 17, 1948. It is unfortunate that while different states and regions celebrate their respective liberation days, Telangana has not received the same recognition," Reddy said.</p>
<p>He noted that during the Nizam's rule, some districts of the erstwhile Hyderabad state became part of Maharashtra, and those regions have been observing Hyderabad Liberation Day. "Since Maharashtra had a Congress government, Hyderabad Liberation Day has been celebrated there under their leadership. This has not seen such celebrations across the state," Reddy added.</p>
