No Compromise On Law: CM KCR

In the wake of protests at several locations in the Telangana state over the controversial remarks made by BJP MLA T. Raja Singh about Prophet Muhammad, Telangana chief minister K. Chandrashekar met with chief secretary Somesh Kumar, DGP Mahender Reddy, and police commissioners of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda on Wednesday evening.

The CM informed police officials not to compromise on maintaining law and order. He instructed the officials to ensure no untoward incidents took place. Mainly, he asked them to focus on sensitive and hyper-sensitive areas and deploy additional forces if required. The minister directed top cops to monitor law and order situations round the clock and take decisions accordingly.

A section of people organized rallies demanding that the TRS government should arrest Raja Singh immediately for insulting Prophet Muhammad and Muslims.

In contrast, Telangana's BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar has alleged that CM K Chandrashekar Rao's TRS was trying to trigger communal riots in the city to deflect attention from allegations of her daughter's involvement in the Delhi excise policy case.

Some BJP leaders had earlier claimed that K Kavitha acted as the "middleman" between the liquor mafia and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.

Ms Kavitha then filed a defamation case against the BJP, acting on which, a Hyderabad court issued notices to two BJP leaders and directed them to not make any defamatory comments against her until a decision.
