It comes as a shock to us that the government of Andhra Pradesh is planning to release Rs 78 lakh to reinstall the statues on Tank Bund in Hyderabad that were demolished on March 10. This amounts to nothing less than provoking the people of Telangana even more.
What happened last week on Thursday was an expression of people's anguish. No political leaders or cultural troupes were allowed on Tank Bund by the police. As a result there was no one to guide the emotionally surcharged crowd. What happened thereafter was unfortunate and we feel for it. But then one also needs to remember that the Tank Bund is in Hyderabad and therefore in the heart of Telangana and when the people of the region find 26 of the 33 statues are of people from the other two regions, it does make them angry.
