Activists owing allegiance to the PDSU and PYL staged a black flag demonstration here on Wednesday denouncing the arrest of Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) Chairman M. Kodandaram in Hyderabad and scores of student activists elsewhere in the State for highlighting the issue of unemployed youth.
Holding black flags, the protesters took out a rally from the Zilla Parishad Centre to the Dharna Chowk in a symbolic protest against the arrest of the TJAC leaders and activists of the PDSU, PYL and other organisations in various parts of the State.
Addressing the participants, the PDSU leaders alleged that the police arrested Mr. Kodandaram, PDSU State president Pradeep and leaders of various organisations representing students, unemployed youth and weaker sections hours before the protest rally of the unemployed youth called by the TJAC was to begin in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
The TRS Government has behaved in a fascist manner towards the TJAC leaders, student activists and unemployed youth, who remained in the forefront of the separate Telangana movement, they charged.
The PDSU district leaders Azad, Venkatesh and others participated in the stir.
