Students of the joint action committee (JAC) at Osmania University, the nerve centre of pro-Telangana protests, on Sunday said they would block all the entry points to Hyderabad, including national highways, in a bid to prevent leaders of Seemandhra (Rayalseema and Andhra) from entering the state capital on January 5.
“We will block all the roads and stage rail rokkos on Tuesday like what the Gujjar community did in Rajasthan. We will not even allow those who go to Andhra for the Sankranti festival, to return to Hyderabad,” JAC leaders said at the Vidyarthi Garjana (students' roar) held at the OU campus.
They said the Telugu Desam Party supremo, N Chandrababu Naidu, should announce his stance on the separate Telangana issue and threatened to demolish offices of all the anti-Telangana parties if they remained silent on the issue. “No anti-Telangana activist will be allowed to stay in Hyderabad,” they said.
The JAC leaders said students would not appear for examinations until a separate state was announced and demanded a Telangana Bill be tabled in Parliament.
