Mouth Shut : Hyderabad is part of Telangana
The decision of Rosaiah government to write to the centre seeking a Constitutional amendment notifying Hyderabad city as part of Telangana and not a free zone has started to send jitters along the spine for some Seemandhra leaders and especially Lagadapati.
He seems to have been banking heavily on the delay in T-formation and the Srikrishna Committee, to propell his real estate interests. This has come across as a jolt since people will now say if the government can go to the extent of passing a resolution inspite of the supreme court order to make Hyderabad part of Telangana, we can easily foresee formation of Telangana in the near future.
People have started to believe the fact that formation of Telangana is inevitable. Its only that Congress is trying to buy time to claim the credit. It is already sending signals to its Seemandhra leaders that they should be ready for it. Starting from Botsa’s support for formation of Telangana to the recent free zone issue, things have all been in favor of Telangana.
Whats interesting is that, leaders of all parties were unanimous that the relevant paragraph of the Presidential Order relating to jobs for locals in Hyderabad should be amended to set aside the court order.

Where is the anger from Seemandhra people. They are NOT eligible to work in their own SO CALLED "CAPITAL". At least now think! think! think!. Don't YOU deserve your own CAPITAL where you can go and work.

All, this is the tactic of Congress party since the day one of their reach to power. They always used 'issues' and kept them 'alive' to use them time to time. Be it Muslim personal law, or Urdu or reservations of SC and ST or Hajj related matters or the so called free zones normally the policy of congress is 'short term'. They never try to find permanent solutions for how big the problem it may be. The Muslim reservation 5yrs in power YSR govt. could have passed the bill in state assembly easily but no they made ppl 'satisfied' with a GO which has been challenged and the verdict is out now, they r again trying this is the 6th yr in power. The issue is still 'ON' and will be used for future elections even but without permanent solution. The free zone is the same, they want to keep the issue 'alive' and paly with the sentiment of ppl and use the issue whenever needed. The resolution in assembly will be another ploy to lure T ppl in their favour. God knows when we can really get rid of such regimes and parties. Jai Telangana.

Adilabad,Karimnagar,Warangal and Khammam people can get the jobs in their respective zone.
Hyderabad is part and parcel of the sixth zone of Telangana.
We all very well know, how many jobs belongs to Telanganites are robbed by people from Seemandhra by producing fake mulki certificates.
Now the 13 districts of Seemandhra leaders are trying to divide the Telanganites in the name of jobs and rob the Telanganites jobs in Hyderabad district by keeping it as a free zone.

You want to maintain your supremacy and privacy in your house and bed room, but you expect your neighbours house and bed room should be a free zone / public property for all.
Today you grab Hyd by making it as a free zone and tomarrow you plan big to make whole Telangana as your colony.
Instead of living as parasites on Hyderabad / Telangana, why don't you people have your own capital city in Seemandhra and as a free zone.

Syed, Indeed constitution is a holy book. You cannot alter its basic structure. Is it possible to make an amendment changing the status of Muslims as second class citizens? It is not because it is against basic principle of the constitution ( secular). Similarly nullifying this judgement via amendment is not possible because it is against the principle of equality. The only thing that can be done is to reserve 15% of seats to locals which is justified. But making Hyderabad as a colony of Telangana is not allowed

the constituition can be amended but not in all cases and certainly not on its basic tenets.
how can you compare the womans reservation bill with the free zone amendment.
both are fundamentallly different.
i suggest you read the keshavnanda bharati case for a better understanding.

Hyderabad can't compared with Warangal, Vizag or Bezawada simply because of the abundance of the oppurtunities available due to the Capital city status. So not to be unfair to the local people, the government can go with a reduced percentage to locals rather than 80-20 ratio in case of Hyderabad. Please dont tie everything to Telangana.
Telangana is a wish, and lets keep it a wish..

OK, we read keshavananda bharati cases, but you also refer back how many times constitution has been ammended just to appease a section of the people.
When it serves your requirements and comes to your benefits you are not bothered about the basic principles of the constitution and ammended it outrightly.
But at present in our case, it is justified. Otherwise you should agree to make Vijayawada, Vishakapattanam and Kurnool also as free zones to compensate our loss.

@DF, what is constitution? And for whom? These r the two bases on which the whole structure of our country's laws rely. If we go in to basics the constitution is written by a committee which was headed by BRAmbedkar, that never means the committee wrote a FULL and COMPLETE constitution hence lots of amendments took place and will continue to take place. Don't forget the constitution is made to facilitiate the day to day administration of the country and life of the citizen nothing else and it can be changed whenever required. The courts functions within the constitution not out of the constitution the supreme is the parliament, and parliament has the right and power to amend change everything.

they know parliament is full of jokers who will tinker with the law and the constituition to keep their electoral chances alive.
i am sorry but the supreme court will prevail in the end as it has done so several times.
if parliament were supreme indian democracy would not have been as strong as it is now , considering the quality of people elected .
can you imagine what riot of damage a few parliamentarians like kcr, koda, modi, cbn , jayalalitha, mamata , subramaniam swamy, mulayam singh, mayawati etc can do to destabilise and weaken the country for their selfish and narrow goals.

I am apaled at the way "intellectuals" are quoting the Bharti case. The case lays down that the "basic structure" of the constituition can not be amended.
While "basic structure" has not been defined, there is a broad consensus among most jurists that this includes fundamental rights (e.g. freedm of speech), equality before law (including secularism) & parliamentary federal structure.
Items like domicile requirement (e.g. mulki rules), six point formula, reservation of jobs, restrictions on land use/sale are perfectly constituitional if enacted by a due process.
The constituition is not gospel & has been amended several times.
The courts can not make a law, they can also interpret law or strke down laws passed without due process or constituitional sanction.
Some seemandhras are claiming the Supreme Court has declared Hyderabad as a free zone. This is absolute nonsense. The court has merely upheld some police appointments on the strength of the Presidential Order. The "free zone" covers only secretariat jobs & police jobs in Hyderabad.
Some people are claiming the PO can only be changed by amending the constituition. This is not required as the PO is merely an executive order. No assembly or parliament resolution is required either.

Whatever Ts do, constitution cannot be amended at will. We are not Saudi Arabia where one family defines the policy not we are China where the party does it. We are not even Pakistan, where Army interferes when some thing goes wrong. We are a democracy where the government is subjected to push and pulls of different groups and only consensus can bring about any change in constitution. The key is consensus. Let us have consensus first.

In a surprise turn of events, in October 1972, the Supreme Court validated the implementation of Mulki Rules.link While the invalidation of GO based on Mulki Rules in 69 was on the basis of fundamental rights, this validation of Mulki Rules was done as a part of respecting the laws of the land created before independence. This left Kosta and Rayalaseema people "feel like second class citizens in their own state capital"

While “basic structure” has not been defined, there is a broad consensus among most jurists that this includes fundamental rights (e.g. freedm of speech), equality before law (including secularism) & parliamentary federal structure.pls also note equal opportunity and status is also defined as a basic fundamental right in the constituition.
thats why the hyd free zone order was struck down by the supreme court. the order when available will be most interesting.

Recently central home minister Chidambaram clearly stated that, every one who came to work in Delhi including him are migrants. Hence, this applies to all MP’s, central ministers as well as the PM also.
Delhi is the capital for India, whereas Hyderabad is the capital for AP.
Why is it wrong, if we apply the same rule and principle for the MLA’s, MP’s, ministers, Chief Ministers, government & private employees, film industry, drugs & real estate mafia, media & other business house staff, common people & students from SeemAndhra, who came to Hyderabad, call as migrants / settlers. In what way they have any right to claim Hyderabad as UT or separate state for them by separating / breaking it from the middle part of Telangana region.
By migrating to Telangana / Hyderabad they got flourished / developed at the cost of depriving such opportunities to many native people of this region.
In fact we Telanganites own / have right to claim royalty from those migrants / settlers, but not to forego / loose our age old capital city Hyderabad at any cost.
Hyderabad as UT or separate state to exclusively benefit those migrants / settlers cannot be justified under any law / principle.
