Workshop to counter Telanga movement

The Visalandhra workshop will have speakers from academia, polity and civil services

GN Bureau | July 1, 2011

Visalandhra Mahasabha, a pro-united Andhra Pradesh organisation, is conducting a workshop on July 5 in New Delhi. The workshop will have eminent speakers from the academia and polity and some with public service background.

The workshop will expose "truths" of the separatist movement for Telangana in the social, economic, political and cultural domains.

The invitation to the workshop is reproduced below.

Dear Supporters,

Visalandhra Mahasabha is an organization committed towards a united Andhra Pradesh. It is a group of intellectuals, professionals, educationists and other socially conscious patriots from all the regions of AP – Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.

The separatist agitation in the state of Andhra Pradesh and the demand for separate Telangana is fraught with not only violence and vandalism based on claims of vicitimisation of Telangana people, but also fundamentally based on falsehood and distortion of facts and figures. The demand for Telangana is completely unjust.

In this context, Visalandhara Mahasabha is attempting to showcase the hitherto unknown truths in social, economic, political, cultural and hitorical domains through a media Workshop and exhibition On The Unjust Demand for Telangana.

We hope that this endeavor of ours helps you in arriving at a balanced view of the scenario based on facts rather than conjectures and wrong propaganda.

The venue and other details are as follows.

Workshop-1: July 5th 11.00 AM – 1.00 PM
• Kuldip Nayar- Sr. Journalist
• Sitaram Yechury- MP & CPM Politburo Member

Workshop-2: July 6th 3.00 PM – 5.00 PM

• G. Sanjeeva Reddy- MP & President INTUC

Exhibition
5th and 6th July 2011, - 11.00 AM to 5.00 PM

Venue

Yours Sincerely,

Nalamotu Chakravarthy
