lathicharge by police on members of Hindu organisations protesting against the desecration of a temple idol here, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Sunday accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of an "anti-Hindu attitude". Addressing a press conference, he said some youth were holding a protest peacefully on Saturday against the idol desecration at Muthyalamma temple in Secunderabad. The police «brutally» beat them up, which was not seen in Hyderabad in recent times, he alleged.
Even during the Telangana statehood movement, the police did not behave in that way, Kishan Reddy, who is also Telangana BJP president, said.
«Why did the chief minister order lathicharge against them yesterday? This is totally anti-Hindu way. This is nothing but pacifying the other sections. Several people were injured. Are they terrorists?,» Kishan Reddy asked.
He claimed several cases were foisted against people during Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri.
Salman Salim Thakur alias Salman, an engineering graduate from Maharashtra on October 14, allegedly entered the sanctum-sanctorum of Muthyalamma temple and desecrated the main idol of the temple, triggering protests by locals, Hindu organisations and the BJP. The accused was later taken into custody.
