Hyderabad: Former Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA Balaka Suman was on Saturday, May 30, detained in Hyderabad in connection with his call for militant protests and attacks on government property.
Suman was detained from the Telangana Bhavan after he booked following a complaint by Khairatabad District Congress Committee President Montha Rohit Mudiraj, who submitted a video to the police.
The video purportedly showed Suman delivering a speech at the Telangana Bhavan on May 26, in which he allegedly called for military style protest against the Congress government.
According to the police, Suman made the remarks that incited violence and instigated BRS leaders present at the meeting with the intention to disturb law and order in the state.
What did Suman say?
According to reports, while addressing a meeting at the Telangana Bhavan, the former Chennur MLA claimed that farmers and workers were not coming forward to stage protests at the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). He issued a call for BRS leaders themselves to spearhead a “militant-style” agitation.
He urged BRS leaders to resort to clashes on the streets, if necessary, and to vandalise Singareni offices and assets.
