Million March: Chappals thrown at Congress MPs

Million March: Chappals thrown at Congress MPs
Hyderabad: Congress MPs K Keshav Rao and Madhu Yashki Goud were targeted by Telangana supporters near Tank Bund where they had come to take part in the 'million march to Hyderabad' here today.

Shouting slogans, some Telangana supporters threw  like water bottles and chappals at  Mr Rao and Mr Goud, forcing the politicians to leave the march.

Groups who want Andhra Pradesh to be divided for a new state of Telangana say Congress MPs and MLS should resign as a way of pressuring the government.

Mr Goud said that is faulty logic.     

"TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao has quit his post several times. Did Telangana come with that? We need to be in Parliament to fight for separate state and to ensure that a bill is passed for formation of separate Telangana," he said.
