Police biased, collapse of law and order in Telangana: Congress

CLP delegation meets Governor Tamilisai

Telangana police have been turned into a unit of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) by the government and their behaviour was reeking of bias, and it was high time Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan intervened and infuse confidence among the people, a delegation of the Telangana Congress party urged.

The delegation led by Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka and MLAs T. Jayaprakash Reddy, D. Sreedhar Babu and D. Seethakka met the Governor at Raj Bhavan on Tuesday stating that the police was suppressing the democratic rights of the Opposition parties and blatantly biased towards the ruling party members.

Mr. Vikramarka said the situation has come to a state where the police were taking orders from the TRS leaders and to get justice people have to be with the ruling party or else they have to face the police wrath. He said the Opposition party leaders, including the MPs and MLAs were placed under house arrest or their visits to meet the people were being stalled using force. This was a result of TRS turning the police into their party unit, he alleged and added that some police officers, taking action only to be in the good books of the TRS leadership, were bringing a bad name to the entire force.
