hbadPolitical chaos, a separatist movement, communal speeches and now a terror attack. Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh have never been so volatile and it appears the situation may only worsen in the days to come.
Many from Hyderabad are worried about the disruption of peace and feel that issues such as Owaisi, speeches by hot headed Hindu leaders, terror attacks and political instability is making a heady cocktail.
G V L N Rao, an ardent observor of Andhra Pradesh politics says that Hyderabad has been a very volatile spot. There are so many burning issues in Andhra Pradesh and this has given a phillip to terror groups to take adavantage of the situation.
While terrorism has raised it ugly head, the bigger worry is the political situation. There have been many attempts in the past to create disturbances but now with the atmosphere so communally charged terror groups will look to take advantage of the situation. They find it to be the right time to take advantage of the situation.
The communal game is being played at the political level, but there is a lot of communal harmony among the people for now. If incidents such as Owaisi and counter speeches continue, then the situation may worsen and terror groups can take advantage of the situation.
Muslim leaders in Hyderabad say that trouble would begin if there is a witch hunt. The situation is already volatile and if the right steps are not taken then it could only worsen. The
Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee which has fought for the cause of Muslims falsely accused in the Mecca Masjid blasts says that a fair investigation is the need of the hour.
The present political situation in Andhra Pradesh is so bad that any thing can happen. We have seen such incidents everytime the Congress is in trouble and in AP it is facing its worst days. Real issues are being diverted and the Telangana movement in particular has suffered a set back.
The convenor of this committee Latheef Khan says that a communal colour is being given. There is no hatred among the people following the communal speeches. But some are trying to take advantage of the situation.
