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.
“They’ve been blaming our party—blaming Nehru—for the delay in Hyderabad’s annexation. By giving Razakar an award, what message are we sending out?” a senior Muslim leader of Telangana Congress said.
Since the bulk of citizens did not regard drinking as a crime, they had no respect for the prohibition laws and did not cooperate with the police, wrote MV Venkata Rao in 1962.

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.

Who the hell is this civil rights body that seeks to whitewash the attrocties committed by blood thirsty Razakars on people of Telangana State?

Most of those who held this Press Meet are Urban Naxals and Govt of India should keep a tab on their activities.
