Telangana Activists Assurances To Be Reviewed By Committee
Hyderabad, Feb. 26 (Maxim News): Minister Ponnam Prabhakar recently said the government remains positive about fulfilling assurances given to Telangana activists.
He stated that the government will soon form a committee to address pending promises made to Telangana activists.
The Minister met Telangana activists and Kodandaram at the Minister Quarters.
During the meeting, they discussed the framework of the proposed committee. They also reviewed assurances related to pensions, house sites, and welfare measures.
Moreover, they examined steps required for implementation.
Ponnam Prabhakar said he will soon lead a delegation of Telangana activists to meet Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
He added that the government aims to resolve the issue in a structured manner. Therefore, officials are preparing guidelines for the committee.
The issue gained urgency after directions from the Telangana High Court. During the last Assembly elections, the Congress party had promised benefits under the Abhaya Hastham Scheme.
The party assured eligible Telangana activists 250 square yards of house site, a monthly pension of about Rs 25,000, and other welfare benefits.
However, leaders of the Telangana Movement JAC approached the High Court.
They alleged that the government had not implemented the promised benefits for those who participated in the statehood movement.
Earlier this week, the High Court heard a petition filed by activists.
A bench led by Justice Vijaysen Reddy directed the state government to process applications within eight weeks.
The court instructed authorities to grant house sites and pensions to eligible applicants under the Abhaya Hastham Scheme without delay.
The court also directed the Principal Secretary and officials of the Freedom Fighter wing to examine eligibility and dispose of cases as per rules.
It stressed that officials must avoid unnecessary delays.
Following the court order, the government has begun internal consultations. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar’s statement indicates that the administration plans to comply with judicial directions.
Meanwhile, activists await concrete action on the assurances. (Maxim News)
