Hyderabad Desk

Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday, October 6 questioned the Telangana government over demolitions undertaken by the Hyderabad Disaster Response Asset Protection Agency (HYDRA).

“Those who are talking about FTL should know that the new secretariat in Hyderabad is constructed on the Hussain Sagar Full Tank Level. Similarly the Samadhis such as Bapu Ghat also lie on FT in Langar Houz,” he said.

The Hyderabad MP questioned the government stating when Secretariat can be constructed and survive on FTL and the statues of various poltitians can survive on Tank Bund FTL, why not houses of the poor.

“Former chief minister KCR and now Revanth Reddy, both have assumed office in the Secretariat. When both of them can do so, shouldn’t the people be allowed to stay in their houses?” Owaisi asked. He further asked when the secretariat, where the government makes decisions is on the lake bed why does the government want to snatch our houses?

He urged the Telangana chief minister to “stay” on his seat in the Secretariat and let the people live in their abodes peacefully. “The government must take up beautification of places but not at the cost of the poor,” Owaisi said while addressing a gathering in Nizamabad.

Owaisi asked chief minister A Revanth Reddy to put forward the Land Acquisition (Rehabilitation and Resettlement) Act of 2013, before executing the Musi Riverfront Development Project. He reminded the chief minister that the legislation was brought in by the previous Congress government.

The Hyderabad MP urged the CM not to demolish houses of the poor stating that they have built houses with their hard-earned money brick by brick, Owaisi also reminded Revanth of the Congress’s six guarantees which were supposed to help the poor.
