Hyderabad: The city police on Saturday foiled a protest by Osmania University JAC against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in front of Nims. The cops arrested 13 students, who were shouting slogans against the YSRC leader, who has been admitted at the hospital following his decision to fast indefinitely. The protesters alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy’s fast was worsening the law and order situation in Telangana.

Earlier in the day, OUJAC members also declared that they will go ahead with the proposed Million March-2, and will confront the planned Samaikyandhra rally at LB stadium on September 7.

“We have been informed that Samaikyandhra supporters are planning a meeting at the LB stadium on September 7 without police permission. We will confront them even if the cops don’t allow us to do so. We will not allow any public meetings against Telangana in Hyderabad,” said M. Krishank, OUJAC leader.

Later, towards noon, scores of OUJAC protesters reached Nims hospital and started shouting slogans against Jagan. But a police team soon rushed to the spot and arrested the protesters as a preventive measure. The detained agitators were then shifted to Shah Inayat Ganj police station, and were released later.

“We demand law-enforcing bodies to shift Jagan Mohan Reddy from Hyderabad to Tihar Jail (in New Delhi). And, since he is also facing serious criminal allegations, the government should not waste its money by giving him medical treatment,” said Krishank.
