In poll-bound Karnataka, Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday hit out at the Congress alleging that it never remembered those who fought and sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Hyderabad from the ‘brutal’ Nizam rule.
Addressing a public gathering after inaugurating the Gorata Martyrs’ Memorial and statue of the country’s first home minister late Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at Gorata village in this district, Shah also slammed the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Telangana government for “hesitating” to celebrate the Hyderabad Liberation Day.
Shah also hoisted a 103 ft high national flag at Gorata, called “Jallianwala Bagh of South India”.
Once the BJP government returns to power in Karnataka and the grand memorial is built, the party would celebrate the next Hyderabad Liberation Day at Gorata, he affirmed.
