The Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Monday rejected the tributes paid to Telangana martyrs during the Congress party's state-level convention.
Talking to reporters here, TRS MLA K Tarakarama Rao said that the martyrs were not paid tributes, but insulted by the Congress party. He said it appeared as if "murderers" were paying tributes to their victims. Describing the Congress leaders from the Telangana as "slaves" of Seemandhra leaders, he said it was shocking that those leaders want to continue with a party where they were forced to fight even to pay tributes to the martyrs.
Rejecting the tributes, KTR said that the souls of Telangana martyrs would never rest in peace due to the way homage was paid to them during the Congress meeting.
