Silent emergency in Telangana
At early hours today, Telanga police about 30 in number raided the houses of Devendra and swapna in Hyderabad without any Warrant. Both are active members of a womenʹs organization ʹChaitanya Mahila Sanghamʹ. CMS members alleged that when they found nothing in their houses they put some papers which they brought with them and took them into custody. This is to prove that they have links with Maoists. Simultaneously Menchu Sandeep, a student activist and member of Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika is also arrested. By afternoon Renuka of CMS is also taken to custody at Gadwal.
In fact this is a consecutive round of arrests after Shilpa, secretary of cms and Menchu Ramesh, secretary of Telangana Praja Front were taken to custody in a similar fashion yesterday.
On November 12th Anuradha and Ravi were arrested when they were about to attend a press meet on Ayodhya verdict. In the month of October at least 8 members of different organizations were arrested after a series of raids on their houses. Some were literally kidnapped on the road. All are booked under UAPA and bail applications are being rejected. The names of more than 40 activists and intellectuals are included in a conspiracy case under UAPA. It includes writers like N Venugopal and C Kasim. Everybody waits for their turn now. Donʹt know how and when they get arrested.
A silent emergency is unfolding in Telangana and it is a going is bury all democratic voices. We request all domocrats to respond and act immediately before everything goes out of hands.
