The Hindu
The former Chief Minister said that the arrest of former MLA and TDP leader Chintamaneni Prabhakar was the latest in a series of attacks on Opposition leaders.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N. Chandrababu Naidu wrote a letter to Director General of Police (DGP) Gautam Sawang suggesting the police focus on controlling crime instead of harassing Opposition TDP leaders. In the letter dated August 30, the former Chief Minister said that the arrest of former MLA and TDP leader Chintamaneni Prabhakar was the latest in a series of attacks on Opposition leaders. Mr. Prabhakar had protested against the hike of petrol and diesel prices and met the Tahsildar in Denduluru to submit a representation on August 28. For this peaceful demonstration, a false case was registered against him, Mr. Naidu said. Mr. Prabhakar was arrested at a wedding function in far-away Visakhapatnam. “What is the need to arrest an Opposition party leader and former MLA in such an unscrupulous manner?” he asked.More Related News
