Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy on Sunday informed Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy that he will not attend the 'Praja Palana Dinotsavam' (celebration of people's governance day) being organised by the state government on September 17.
The day marks the merger of the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad under Nizam's rule with the Indian Union in 1948.
Responding to the chief minister's invite to attend the event, Kishan Reddy said the people of the princely state of Hyderabad had carried out a spirited struggle for years to liberate the region from the brutalities of the Nizam and his private army of Razakars. Therefore, September 17 should be commemorated in a manner that befits the sacrifices of the martyrs, he said, in a letter to the CM.
