What the leaders are doing are they trying to suppress the agitation again as they did in 1969. Why the police is targeting innocent students who are just carrying the dead body of their co-student. Do we need to take permission to carry out any death procession if any one dies in hyderabad. Then why the politician are not opposed from taking any rallies if their fav. leaders die. This is not democracy. this is worst than british rule or the hitler rule. I condemn this cruel act of police and govt.
