Even as the Congress government organized the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad with a stated focus on saving democracy and protecting freedom of speech and expression, the Telangana police placed Opposition leaders under house arrest, triggering criticism from the BJP.
BJP State president N Ramchander Rao was prevented
from stepping out of his residence and participating in party programmes. Police personnel arrived at his house and restricted his movement.
“Congress Govt has put me under house arrest for umpteenth time now! I have just one message for Deshdrohi Pappu and his Ghulam: Daro Mat!” Ramchander Rao said in a post on X.
