Asaduddin Owaisi accuses Centre of unfair treatment towards Telangana

Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that the BJP-led central government is not treating the people of Telangana fairly.

“I feel that the government of India is not treating the people of Telangana fairly and justly. Despite having eight MPs from BJP, some of them are union ministers, justice is not being done to Telangana in terms of sanctioning projects,” ANI quoted Owaisi as saying.

The Hyderabad MP demanded that Telangana receive the same allocations as other



states.

"Our only demand is that on the basis of parity, what is being given to other states should be sanctioned to the state of Telangana…Kerala, Assam, Meghalaya, Punjab and Jharkhand are smaller than Telangana, but they have more IPS officers. A proposal was made by the state of Telangana to increase the existing strength that has not been approved..." he said, according to ANI.

Owaisi made the remarks after attending a meeting of MPs of state called by the Telangana government with the agenda of resolving issues pending with the Centre.
