Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, extended his greetings on the occasion of Telangana Liberation Day. He criticized previous state governments, accusing them of trying to suppress the history of Telangana’s liberation.
Speaking at the Telangana Liberation Day celebrations at Secunderabad Parade Grounds, which was organized by the Union Culture Ministry, Sanjay Kumar stated that if past governments had not altered history, Telangana Liberation Day would have been celebrated every year on September 17, much like Independence Day on August 15 and Republic Day on January 26.
