Addressing the gathering at the Parade Grounds in Hyderabad, Shah said, “...when there was a demand in the region that Hyderabad Liberation Day be celebrated with government endorsement, it is unfortunate that even after 75 years, those who are in the government here could not dare to celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day due to vote bank politics.”
