Hyderabad, July 24 : Police in Hyderabad foiled an alleged attempt by Youth Congress activists to disrupt a protest by the youth wing of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) at Indira Park over the NEET paper leak issue. The Youth Congress has accused the BRS of showing fake sympathy for the students and youths protesting in Delhi and asked why they were silent on the issue till now.

Police detained Youth Congress workers as they gathered at MLA Quarters in Adarsh Nagar to march towards Indira Park.

BRSV, the student wing of BRS, is holding a massive protest at Indira Park in solidarity against the “brutal crackdown” on students and youth in Delhi who are protesting at Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak and seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao will be participating in the protest against the Delhi Police's crackdown on the students.

However, the Youth Congress workers tried to take out a rally to Indira Park as it alleged that BRS leaders were "shedding crocodile tears" over the "police brutalities" on students in Delhi.

The protestors were raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of the BRS.

The Youth Congress workers were led by former MP and Congress leader Anjan Kumar Yadav, who alleged that BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao has no right to stage such a protest.

He said that BRS, during its 10-year rule, had banned protests at Dharna Chowk, Indira Park but it was now using the same venue for a protest.

Yadav also alleged that BRS was showing fake sympathy for the students and youth protesting in Delhi. He wanted to know why K.T. Rama Rao, who had remained silent over the protests by students for the past 28 days, suddenly started expressing sympathy for them.

The former MP alleged that BRS and BJP were the two sides of the same coin. He said students suffered during BRS rule due to irregularities in intermediate examinations.

Police denied permission to Youth Congress for the rally and stopped the protestors from crossing the gates of MLA Quarters.

As the protestors tried to force their way, police detained them and shifted them to a police station.

Anjan Kumar Yadav and other Congress leaders were among those detained.
