“In fact, the rulers of Pakistan, who were formed by dividing India on the basis of religion, have never been honest. They only show India as a class enemy and live a life of luxury, and they show Kashmir as a disgrace and subjugate the people. Even if that country is completely destroyed, they do not care. All this should be considered as the evil political shadow of the Indian rulers of that time, which has befallen us.”
“The spark that caused the division of the country is still burning like a raging fire. The Congress leaders who divided the country on the basis of religion are not answering now. Even Mahatma could not stop the country from being divided back then. They acted in a way that it was not a problem even if the country was divided just because they insisted that Nehru should be the Prime Minister. The results of this are still being felt today,” said Uppal Assembly BJP spokesperson Ilitam Narasimha Reddy. The incomplete division of the country, the negligent attitude towards Kashmir, Article 370, and leaving Pakistan, which was defeated in wars, behind us have all become a stumbling block for us today. If they had adopted strong policies back then, taken over occupied Kashmir and made proper partition agreements, we would not have faced the threat from Pakistani terrorism today. He expressed his regret that the country is having to pay the price today due to the lack of foresight of the rulers of that time. A special interview with Ilitam Narasimha Reddy, who works tirelessly for the protection of Hindu Dharma… for his beloved country, highlights in his own words…
Active as a student….
Born on October 10, 1979 to Ilitam Raja Reddy and Andalamma in Rajakkapet, Dubbaka Mandal, Medak District, Ilitam Narasimha Reddy belongs to a simple farming family. He was instilled with Hindutva sentiments since childhood and actively trained in the RSS. He also played his part in the Telangana movement that was raging with Ravana Kashthala. He joined the TDP while still a student and worked as the Telugu Youth President for five years. Moreover, KCR was attracted to the village path and took charge as the in-charge of Kukat Pally, earning KCR’s admiration. At that time, he gave up every opportunity that came his way. While Hindutva ideology was naturally present in his mind, in 2014, he was attracted to the ideology of the BJP and tied the knot for the country and for the protection of Hindu Dharma. He joined the party and actively participated in the activities undertaken by the party. Since 2015, he has played his role effectively in the Uppal Assembly as the Swachh Bharat Convener and has earned the praise of many leaders. Ilitam Narasimha Reddy worked hard for the victory of MP Etala Rajender in the last parliamentary elections.
Attack targeting Hindus..
Congress and other parties, religious parties like AIMIM, which should have welcomed the abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, have displayed narrow politics. They are still displaying it. Narasimha Reddy expressed concern that the statements made by Congress and other parties about Article 370, which do not care even if lakhs of Kashmiri Pandits are massacred or converted, are giving a boost to terrorists. If terrorists are supported in this matter, it cannot be said that it is the political stance adopted by our parties. The recent massacre in Kashmir should not be seen as just… a terrorist attack. An attack that was carried out with determination and targeted Hindus. Even if this is the work of Muslim terrorists… the Muslim community around the world should condemn it. We should send a message to the terrorists that we will not accept such religious fanaticism. If they do not do so, they should be considered dishonest. First, the Muslim parties in our country, parties like AIMIM, should make public statements on this and denounce the misdeeds of the terrorists. They should protest. The ruling party, Farooq Abdullah’s party and Mehbooba Mufti’s party, should also hold inappropriate protests. They should denounce Pakistan’s behavior. But it would be an illusion to think that these people, who sing the songs of Pakistan, would do so, he said, deeply upset.
Unforgivable crime…
The attack on Kashmiri soil targeting Indians, especially Hindus, should be seen as an unforgivable crime. Not only in Kashmir, but also in the country, the actions of terrorists should not be ignored. Narasimha Reddy said that if you keep repeating peace slogans, they will not come to their senses. The attack by a mob targeting tourists who had gone to visit Pahalgam to have a good time during their vacation should not be left with a single condemnation. When a newly married couple went to spend their time happily, the husband reached the wedding and the wife burst into tears. This is considered the biggest terrorist attack on tourists in Kashmir so far. The way 28 people died in this should be seen as evidence of the monstrous nature of the terrorists. When the Kandahar plane was hijacked, the terrorists also killed many people in a similar manner. The Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate, The Resistance Front, has claimed responsibility for the attack. It has been revealed that five gunmen dressed in military uniforms carried out the attack. After the shooting, the security personnel are searching for them as they fled into the dense forests. However, now there is no doubt that Pakistan is behind this attack. He criticized that any attack in our country has its roots there.
Lashkar-e-Taiba has a new mask…
The Resistance Front (TRF), which carried out a terrorist attack in Baisaran in Pahalgam and killed tourists, is a newly formed organization. This organization was formed after the abrogation of Article 370, which gave special status to Kashmir. Initially, it carried out terrorist activities online. After that, within 6 months, it was formed as a physical group by taking members of various terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba. Narasimha Reddy commented that Pakistan is behind this. Intelligence sources say that Pakistan’s ISI created the TRF. It is said that this TRF was formed to divert the world’s attention from Lashkar-e-Taiba. The Financial Action Task Force included Pakistan in the list of banned countries in 2018 due to Lashkar-e-Taiba’s terrorist activities. With this, there are suspicions that Pakistan formed the TRF as part of corrective measures. TRF has been carrying out attacks since its formation in 2019. It is trying to establish a presence in the Kashmir region. With this, India added TRF to the list of terrorist organizations in 2023. TRF was created by Sheikh Sajjad Gul alias Sheikh Sajjad. He is a Kashmiri militant. Sajjad conspired to kill prominent journalist Shujaat Bukhari and two of his security personnel in Srinagar on June 14, 2018. Sajjad was declared a terrorist by the central government under the Terrorism Act due to his terrorist activities. He previously served as a commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Among those working in TRF are Sajid Jatt and Salim Rehmani. Both of them were former Lashkar-e-Taiba employees. The TRF targets people of all religions. The group has targeted Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims. The TRF first came into the limelight on April 1, 2020, when it engaged in a four-day exchange of fire along the Line of Control in the Keran sector of Kupwara. On October 30, TRF militants killed three BJP workers in Kulgam in south Kashmir. On November 26, TRF militants attacked two state-run rifles in the Lai Poora area of Srinagar, which was filmed. Two soldiers were shot dead. On February 26, 2023, a Kashmiri Pandit named Sanjay Sharma was gunned down by TRF militants in Pulwama. On October 20, 2024, terrorists killed a doctor and six migrant workers in Sonmarg, Ganderbal. The militant group is working to make itself heard and to show that it is strong. The latest massacre is also part of this, he explained.
Pakistan is always a thorn in the side..
Whenever there are terror attacks in India, Pakistan entertains itself with lies. It says it has nothing to do with it. It has also made it a habit to say that terrorists have no place in our country. It said the same during the Mumbai terror attacks. Similarly, even after giving details about Ajmal Kasab, it insisted that Kasab was not our countryman. Finally, even after Kasab’s antecedents came to light, it sang the same song. Now it has said that it has nothing to do with the Pahalgam terror attack. And the country has to respond to the cake celebrations at the Pakistani embassy in Delhi. Narasimha Reddy said that the cake incident is clear proof of the claim that Pakistan is giving full support to the militants. Forgetting all this, it tried to blame the Balochistan incidents on India and burned its hands. Even though we have submitted a list of terrorists and they are hiding in Pakistan, they are not being extradited. It is hiding terrorists like Hafiz Saeed. It is feeding them. If all this is a lie, the statements made by Pakistani leaders after the attacks reveal the country’s evil. Pakistan never condemns the attacks. Even if evidence is shown, no action is taken. In fact, even the latest statements by Pakistani leaders seem to be encouraging terrorists and supporting Pakistan. In fact, the rulers of Pakistan, who were formed by dividing India on the basis of religion, have never been honest. They only show India as a class enemy and live happily, and show Kashmir as a disgrace and subjugate the people. Even if that country is completely destroyed, they do not care. All this should be said to be the curse of Ravana that has befallen us due to the evil political shadow of the Indian rulers of that time. We need to apply medicine for this somewhere. If the ulcer is serious, we need to cut off the leg. Pakistan should not hesitate to break its limbs. Now, the true colors of our cousin Pakistan have been revealed in the case of the terrorists who carried out the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. On the outside, they spoke in whitewash that they had nothing to do with the Pahalgam terrorist attack and condemned the attack. But their true colors were exposed with the comments of the Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister. Pakistani Deputy PM Ishaq Dar compared the human monsters who brutally massacred 28 innocent people with freedom fighters. With his comments, Pakistan’s perversion has once again become clear to the world. Speaking to reporters in Islamabad on the Pahalgam incident, Ishaq Dar described those who carried out the attacks in the Pahalgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 as freedom fighters. He also made his own comments on India’s cancellation of the Indus Waters Treaty. 240 million people in Pakistan need the water of the Indus River. No one can stop that treaty. He warned that if the Indus Treaty is cancelled, it will be tantamount to an act of war. He said that the country will also face a similar reaction. The people of India are outraged that the Pakistani Prime Minister has compared the terrorists who killed 28 people inhumanly with freedom fighters. He is criticizing that this is the real intelligence of Pakistan. No more proof is needed that Pakistan is promoting cross-border terrorism. Tourists were examined and questioned on the basis of religion and the terrorists opened fire indiscriminately. While 26 innocent people died in the brutal attack by the gunmen.. and some other tourists were seriously injured due to bullet injuries. With this, Indian forces are searching Jammu and Kashmir for the gunmen who carried out the attack in Pahalgam. All of them were unarmed.. ordinary people.. Even though they begged to leave, the terrorists did not pay attention. If they were shot in the head and killed in the most severe manner, it is clear how much religious arrogance they have. . It has recently come to light that Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed is behind this attack that took place in the Baisaran valley of Kashmir. Intelligence sources believe that Saeed and his main follower Saifullah.. along with the terrorists, they killed innocent people. A group of hardcore terrorists affiliated with the LeT mercilessly killed 26 innocent people in Baisaran. According to intelligence sources, this group is mainly composed of foreign terrorists. There are suspicions that they were supported by local militants and some others in Kashmir. Intelligence sources believe that Hafiz Saeed and his top aides, with the support of the Pakistani government, may have directly helped these terrorist groups. Terrorists always come from Pakistan. They get trained from Pakistan. Pakistan incites them. Therefore, the steps we take should be such that the world also rejoices.. Pakistan should be shocked. Pakistan should not recover in its lifetime. If it is hit, it should not be forgotten for the rest of its life. Only then will we not have to face these terrorist attacks, he said.
Should we stand by and watch while people are being killed in the name of religion?
As long as there was President’s rule in Kashmir, there was peace. But as soon as the power was transferred to the state, the massacre took place. Narasimha Reddy said that there was no need to show mercy to the terrorists who committed such atrocities. He urged that terrorism must be eradicated and strict action should be taken for that. He said that such incidents should not happen in the future. He revealed that the time has come for the entire country to unite. He said that innocent people were killed in the most brutal way. He said that the terrorist attack incident shook the entire country. He said that the tremors of Pahalgam spread throughout the country. He said that they came for hunting and hunted tourists. He expressed anger that they asked for ID cards and took the lives of innocent people in the most brutal way. He said that border security is very necessary. He said that there should be no war with the unarmed. He said that they went on a tour of Kashmir with great confidence. He said that lakhs of Kashmiri Pandits have migrated. He said that Kashmir has been burning since then. He made it clear that Kashmir is a part of India.. and will always be. He was angry that some people living in India are speaking in support of Pakistan. He said that those who love Pakistan can leave that country. He questioned why they believe eyewitnesses who say that they were killed because of religion. He felt that being too nice is also not good. If they keep shooting, should we just watch and be quiet.. He said that being too patient is also dangerous. He reminded that Pakistan has been defeated three times. He said that it takes courage to confront terrorists. He said that Hindus have only one country.. He said that if Hindus are targeted here too, where should they go? They said that they should kill and tell Modi.. He said that tourists are saying this.
Congress is like a rat caught in the right hand..
Narasimha Reddy said that it is a great thing that the Prime Minister Modi government has taken an unexpected decision on the caste census at the center. At a time when everyone thinks that the central government is likely to respond in an unusual way in retaliation for the Pahalgam incident, no one expected that the cabinet would take an unexpected decision on the caste census. It should be said that Rahul, who wanted to corner Modi with the caste census, has been dealt a hard blow. No matter how much Rahul says that Telangana is a role model… there is nothing wrong with the caste census conducted here. CM Revanth Reddy, who says that he has undertaken the caste census, cannot give the CM seat to the BCs first. Rahul cannot insist on giving it either. Similarly, Rahul, who is shouting that a caste census is needed, cannot give the three parliamentary seats in his family to the three BCs. Apart from bringing up some issue for political dramas, arguing and tearing throats… Congress leaders lack the determination to really do good for the poor. It is nothing but an attempt to win votes by mentioning the names of Dalits, Adivasis and BCs. Even after independence, Congress has been in power except for a few years in between.. it has not spoken a word about the caste census. Even during the ten-year UPA rule, Rahul did not pay this attention. He criticized that when Modi came to power… he remembered the Constitution and the caste census and started campaigning.
Many problems in Telangana…
There are many problems in Telangana. No efforts are being made to solve them. Narasimha Reddy said that the problems mentioned before the elections do not matter. The ruling Congress, which has been repeatedly singing that KCR is involved in corruption and has earned tens of lakhs of crores, has been unable to prove the corruption. That is why their agendas in politics are theirs. They naturally resort to tricks to reverse them. Nehru was against the caste census, and Rajiv Gandhi opposed reservations in the Lok Sabha itself. Indira Gandhi trampled on the recommendations of the Mandal Commission. He said that the Congress party, which was in power for a long time, never thought about the caste census. The Congress has no answer to the BJP’s questions about why it was not done when it was in power. Contrary to its policies, the Congress has made the caste census its main political agenda and has designed activities around it. Revanth Reddy is still repeatedly campaigning that for the first time in the country, we have successfully completed the caste census in Telangana in a very organized manner, and that we are the role model for this. That is why it must be said that the BJP has somehow risen to the top. The BJP approved the population census and caste census as part of the idea of damaging the caste census weapon raised by the Congress. Rahul, who underestimated the BJP, fell into the pit he himself had taken. He did not expect the BJP to do this. It must be said that the BJP has moved its feet so that the Congress does not become more politically active on the caste census.
Criticism on the Telangana caste census..
If the details of employment, education, and assets along with caste are collected properly and made public, the true color will emerge. It would be better to uncover their socio-economic status without limiting it to caste alone. Then the Congress party’s demand for jobs and positions based on caste population will become meaningless. Because these are the days when their economic and social status cannot be defined based on caste in the changed world. Even if caste reservations are made, they are more likely to be limited to government jobs and government educational institutions. Even if the demand for applying reservations to the private sector is strong, the respective institutions are not ready to implement it. If they do so, they will be in trouble. In fact, there is no political consensus so far on the extent of reservation for castes. If there is a demand to determine shares and provide job opportunities based on caste population, it will create a stir in politics. They will first want to give political positions. From CMs to ministers, those who are currently holding positions will have to sit at home. Demands in other places are not possible without political reservations. That is why, in addition to collecting caste counts, only if the economic conditions are also accurately determined, it will be clear how many poor people there are in which castes. If caste counts were started during the population census, this will have to be continued every time. In Karnataka, during the Siddaramaiah government, they could not reach a consensus on the caste census conducted ten years ago at a cost of more than a hundred crores. They are still unable to release that caste report. They are openly accusing the two main castes in Karnataka, the Vakkaligas and the Lingayats, of underestimating their population. There is criticism of the Telangana caste census too. There is criticism that many things were not taken into account. In this context, the Congress should be able to say what it will achieve through the caste census. It should be able to implement it party-wise. Only then will the demand make sense. Narasimha Reddy said that the decision to conduct a comprehensive caste census has put the Congress in a position like a rat caught in a trap.
Does KCR have the courage to self-criticize?
Not only criticism, but also self-criticism is necessary in politics. Political parties will survive only if they move forward by self-criticism. Narasimha Reddy said that the goal will not be achieved by spending time in political circles criticizing the other party. We must atone for the sins committed during the past nine and a half years and the criticisms coming. BRS leaders, who say that they have developed Telangana wonderfully, should stop this money-grabbing approach. Mainly, lakhs of crores were wasted due to Kaleshwaram. They know how much of it has affected the KCR family. They also stopped farmers and people with a dharna. Thousands of acres of government and common man lands have been alienated. Thousands of acres have been allotted to many people. Many lands have been given away. No action has been taken on Miyapur lands. Nayeem’s diary has been merged with Mallannasagar. In the name of Mallannasagar and Kondapochammasagar, they grabbed the lands and houses of the poor and threw them on the road, and some of them were thrown to the dogs. They did not allow them to live with dignity. Everyone knows how they took usury. They brought Telangana into disrepute by indulging in the liquor business. They herded the MLAs of the other party into their fold like cattle in a market. Otherwise, they took on debts beyond their capacity and, believing that they had developed, created a Telangana of debt in the name of Golden Telangana. All these are the raw facts that are visible to the eye. They do not need evidence for these. There are many more fraudulent acts like phone tapping. It should be recognized how the power given to them by the people was misused. It should also be said what is the motive behind the fact that they are confined to farmhouses, insulting the legislatures without even attending the assembly. Above all, it should be told how the state, which had a surplus budget when Telangana was formed, became indebted. At least explain how he led the government to the predicament of not being able to pay salaries to employees on time. Also, tell what he did to the families of 1300 martyrs who sacrificed their precious lives for Telangana. One of the important goals in the achievement of Telangana state is to fill jobs. Tell why they could not fill at least one seat in universities. Give a detailed explanation of the corruption in the projects that were carried out to fill their pockets and the stomachs of their family leaders. The rise and fall of BRS should be a lesson. BRS has faced many ups and downs in its journey.. many dark corners.. . It has become the cause of scandals. There is no mistake in leaving the real governance to the wind for selfish politics under the pretext of leaving the ground and making a difference. TRS could have run only if public organizations, poets, writers, artists and educated people all came together to lead it. But KCR should stop saying that all this was done by his own hand and that he himself fought the real fight. KCR’s work became easier if he walked with the entire Telangana. Many people laid the foundations for the Malidasa movement. Organizations like Telangana Jana Sabha, Maroju Veeranna, Gade Innayya, Konda Laxman Bapuji, Keshavarao Jadhav, Pasham Yadagiri, Kolluri Chiranjeevi, Prof. Jayashankar, Prof. Biyyala Janardhan, Belli Lalitha and others worked hard to save the Telangana aspiration. Although the movement got political status only in the form of KCR for the second time…. KCR used the heat of the movement, the aspiration of a separate Telangana, which was burning among the people. All these are undeniable truths. Ignoring all this, during the last ten years of his rule, KCR and his cronies ignored all of them and belittled the activists by calling them heroes and valiant people. If after the political party was launched in 2001 at Jalavihar, it moved forward…it should not be ignored that it was only with the support of the people. KCR used Telangana for his selfish politics. But the people of Telangana, especially people like Jayashankar sir, trusted KCR and led him. If the Malidasa movement spread to every corner and the Telangana aspiration became more intense, it was only because of the special aspiration of the people. At that time, the Telangana movement would have moved forward whether it was KCR or anyone else. However, people distanced themselves from BRS because it ignored the people who made the movement reach its destination and governed with selfish thoughts. KCR and his family members should introspect on this. They ignored the fact that the people had raised the pink flag for Telangana and left it on the ground. The lower classes were disappointed, expecting that jobs would come and lives would improve if Telangana came. If all the people stood by with such dedication… KCR thought of himself as a solid political leader. He thought that Telangana was his family. KCR’s U-turn from the idea that Telangana needed its own political power started even before Telangana came. He promised to make a Dalit the Chief Minister and broke his promise. Breaking his word became a routine after coming to power. He broke the Telangana bond and went for new trends like national politics for power. He proved the saying that Uttiki Egalenamma… flew to the sky. He started a campaign that Telangana has become all gold. He said it is a rich state. He stepped into the real sector. He changed the name of the party to ‘Bharat Rashtra Samithi’ and extended his arms towards national politics and failed miserably. If there is so much political greed, why do people think differently? That is why they have been fueled by fire. They have prevented them from gaining power in the assembly elections. They have been more vocal in the parliamentary elections. They should think about all this and now they should introspect. If Congress rises like a firecracker in less than a year and a half… people will forget the past and fight. It is time to forget their mistakes. After coming to power, KCR sowed the seeds of monarchical tendencies. He behaved in a way that said meeting him… was like meeting the king. The doors to meeting the king have been closed. The prince objected that there is no need to meet the CM. Telangana, which was won through a struggle and movement, has gone into autocratic tendencies as if it were his jagir and today people are not ready to listen to his morals. The Modi government is gaining a lot of public respect in the country. Modi is protecting the country. And what will come in Telangana is the BJP government. People are eagerly waiting for that good moment. BJP leadership is the salvation of Telangana.. Elitam Narasimha Reddy concluded his long interview by saying.
