Help spread the truth about Telangana region of India. Since 1956, when Andhra and Telangana merged, Telangana has gotten the short end of the stick in terms of natural resources, funding and representation in government. Though two major rivers have their sources in Telangana, irrigation projects divert the precious water to other areas. The feelings have often spilled over into violence, and in 1969, 400 people died in Telangana-related violence.

OU JAC to ignore Srikrishna panel, appeals against T-suicide

Hours before arrival of Justice Srikrishna Committee member-Secretary V K Duggal on a preliminary rendezvous, the Joint Action Committee of the Telangana Osmania University students (JAC OU) today announced it will abstain from interacting with the panel.

Instead, they decided to enlarge its ''peaceful movement'' beyond the university campus to take it into the remotest village of Telangana.

The OU JAC, at its meeting in front of the Arts College, asserted that it was futile to depose before the Justice Srikrishna Committee and demanded ''direct introduction of a Bill in the Parliament'' for the creation of separate Telangana state.

At the political level, the OU JAC announced that it would work right from the villages in the Telangana region and mount pressure on those Telangana legislators, who had not submitted their resignations so far.

Even while discounting reports that OU JAC would convert into a political party on the lines of Navnirman Samithi in Gujarat and All Assam Students Union (AASU) in Assam, the OU JAC made it clear that their support was for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) legislators because ''they had resigned from the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Council.''
