Former Power Minister and Congress senior leader from Telangana Shabbir Ali has made most controversial comments. Calling Telangana Rashtra Samiti as the ‘Taliban of Telangana’, Shabbir Ali raked up a serious row. In reaction to Deputy Chief Minister Mahmood Ali’s comments that even Charminar “has to be demolished if it gets old”, Shabbir Ali reacted strongly and said to have made aforementioned comments.
Citing that even Mughal emperor Aurangzeb when invaded attacked Golkonda fort and demolished several monuments but left Charminar for its unique structure, Shabbir Ali expressed his dissent over Deputy CM Mahmood Ali’s controversial statement on Charminar. “When Aurangzeb invaded Hyderabad, he had attacked Golkonda fort and demolished several monuments but left Charminar. But TRS Ministers seems they don’t want to leave even Charminar. Ministers stating that even Charminar would be demolished is a sad state,” said Shabbir Ali.
“In order to prove their strength, Talibans, IS terrorits demolishing monuments. However, in Telangana, KCR also resorting to bulldoze Secretariat, Chest Hospital and Osmania Government Hospital,” he added. However, comparing a public government to terrorist group, organisation is inviting flak from several quarters.
