Award to movie is profound insult to legacy of legendary communist leader & balladeer who dedicated his life to secular values, contends Association for Protection of Civil Rights.
Minister says award for Gaddar akin to 'spitting on graves' of cops & BJP workers who fell victim to this ideology. Even Congress, TDP leaders were killed by Naxals, he adds.
CM Revanth Reddy-led govt commemorated poet-singer Gummadi Vittal Rao at 1st 'Gaddar Jayanthi' Wednesday. Anti-Terrorism Forum has called Gaddar 'a figure associated with Maoist ideology'.
DMK govt accuses Centre of withholding funds, tightening borrowing, unilateral deductions from state accounts. Says Centre's accounting & funding decisions have 'artificially inflated' debt burden.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
Mr. Lasania seems to be distraught over the fact that a film director chose to portray the truth about the brutal and inhuman oppression suffered by Hindus in the erstwhile state of Hyderabad at the hands of the dreaded Razakars of the Nizam.
The thousands of Hindu women gangraped in full public view and the thousands of Hindu men murdered and their dead bodies piled up in village centres as a macabre tactic of humiliation enforcing “loyalty” to the Nizam.
The few who dared to resist were brutally tortured and murdered and left hanging on public squares as a message to the masses.
Mr. Yunus Lasania, taking advantage of the platform provided by The Print, has made shrill calls to discredit the movie and it’s director.
Just because the truth isn’t palatable to him and others of his ilk, he wants the well deserved award withdrawn.
Who the hell is this civil rights body that seeks to whitewash the attrocties committed by blood thirsty Razakars on people of Telangana State? Everyone knows the truth and I feel the movie has shown just about 10% of what really happened. Most of those who held this Press Meet are Urban Naxals and Govt of India should keep a tab on their activities.
