Congress Rages Against BJP's Partition Analogy: Demands Apology

Congress leaders in Hyderabad protest against BJP MP Tejaswi Surya's remarks likening Telangana's formation to India's partition. Demanding apologies from PM Modi and Surya, protests escalate, calling for BJP MPs from Telangana to resign unless they denounce Surya's statements, which are seen as divisive and disrespectful.

In Hyderabad, Congress leaders staged a vociferous protest near the Bharatiya Janata Party office on Thursday, ignited by BJP MP Tejaswi Surya's recent remarks in the Lok Sabha accusing Congress of dividing Andhra Pradesh.

Tejaswi Surya's speech, which likened the formation of Telangana to the partition of India, sparked outrage. Congress leader Motha Rohit demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Surya, warning of widespread protests if demands are unmet.

Amidst intensified political tension, Congress leaders urged BJP representatives from Telangana to either denounce Surya's comments or resign, accusing BJP of causing regional discord and implying a controversial alignment with Pakistan.
