Today is a sad day in the history of Indian Parliament. Few MP’s from Seemandhra have done something which could be considered as criminal act to disrupt the Telangana Bill.
This is the extreme of their dominating behavior thinking they could do anything at any level. This is why Telangana People want to This separate from the existing Andhra Pradesh. Al these days they get away with with demands and wishes with this same kind of behavior.
With this kind of nature and behavior they have suppressed the development of Telangana in many ways and have been insulting Telangana people and culture in every possible way.
May the whole country will notice with this incident, that how these Seemandhra political leaders are suppressing the feelings and development of Telangana people.
This is a shameful act and Indian Parliament and Indian democracy. Hope Parliament will take an appropriate action against them and pass the Telangana bill.
They never respected the Telangana people wished and never even bothered to address the issues raised Telangana people for why they are demanding separation. Instead they keep on going thinking that they can influence their own Central Government, but when they realized that it many not happen any more, now they are showing this dictatorship behavior in the Top house of the country.
In a new low, Congress member of Parliament L. Rajgopal protesting against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh to create Telangana attacked other members inside Lok Sabha with pepper spray on Thursday. TDM MP Venugopal Reddy reportedly brandished a knife inside the House.
Parliamentarians who are meant to be discuss such serious bills in detail, are behaving like street rowdy’s. Parliament represents the whole country which will and should consider the concerns of all regions of the country. But, these Seemandhra MP’s shown today that they are expecting that only their wishes and demands should be considered and thinking that rest of the MP’s of this country fools. They tried to disrupt the introduction of the bill itself, while they have every options to discuss and present their concern with a meaningful debate in the house. They have shown to the country what all these they are doing in the state and how they are suppressing Telangana People.
They not only have shown what they actually are to the world, but also brought down the respect of the Indian Parliament by their shameful act.
Disgraceful and shameful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reacting on the incident, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said, “This is a blot on our parliamentary democracy. We are ashamed of this incident.” ”The Speaker will decide what action to take. We will meet the Speaker and take further step. I would recommend the strongest possible action. Twenty-five MPs keeping entire House hostage is not acceptable.” “Many party leaders have asked me to request the Speaker to take action against those who have done such things and it is a very unfortunate (incident) in my 33 years of parliamentary life. I feel ashamed that such an incident has taken place,” he said.

Union Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal said, “This is very unfortunate for our Democracy. Our party has decided and the government will go ahead with bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and we will stick to it.” . Jaiswal said, “He (Rajgopal) sprayed it when I was present there. I was worried that the Speaker could have been attacked. It wasn’t a security lapse, it is the members’ responsibility to ensure such things don’t happen”. ”Whatever has happened is not in the interest of the nation. If the House allows this sort of things then it will be difficult to run Parliament. Whoever is guilty should be held responsible. This issue has to be discussed within Parliament and not outside,” he added.
