No govt celebrated Hyderabad Liberation Day due to policy of appeasement: Amit Shah
Amit Shah participated in the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebration known as 'Mukti Diwas' on Sunday and paid tribute to the brave soldiers who fought against Nizam's army and Razakars (armed supporters of Nizam's rule).
The Home Minister hoisted the national flag during the parade ground event.
While addressing the event, Shah hit out at the previous governments in the country and said that no government celebrated the Hyderabad Liberation Day due to appeasement policies.
«For 75 years, no government organised any event to introduce this great day to our youth. Because of the policy of appeasement, they were scared and did not celebrate Telangana Liberation Day.
It is unfortunate that even after such a big incident, some parties were hesitant to celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day due to vote bank politics. I want to say to those parties that people turn their backs on them who forget their history,» he said.
«After independence from the British, Hyderabad was ruled by the cruel Nizam for 399 days.
These 399 days were more difficult for the people here than the tortures of hell. Respecting the sentiments of the people of this region, Sardar Patel liberated this region on the 400th day.
The people of Hyderabad endured immense suffering during the 399-day rule of the Nizam. That is why Sardar Patel said that independent Hyderabad is like cancer in the stomach of India and it cannot be resolved without operation.
