  1. The Telengana debate on NDTV has not yet clarified what would be the benefits for the Urdu speaking community which would be around 14% of the Telengana population. Whether the state of Telengana would recognize Urdu as a second language beside Telugu. Whether 14% Urdu speaking community would get their fair share in govt. jobs and administration. Such are burning issues for the Urdu speaking community which AIMIM should talk about in any eventuality of Telengana creation.

    I commend the stand of Barrister Asaduddin Oweisi for seeking all party conference from the present Andhra Pradesh on the creation of Telengana. The matter of Telengana should not be confined to the Congress and TRS but AIMIM should be invited to express their stand.

    • Ghousuddin says:

      Mr asad bhai, how long you are going to keep silent. Now is the time to address meetings and convey your message to public and the government that you have demands for seperation with the condition as mention in your agenda as we muslims are not getting our rights in united andhra. This is the right time to gain the favour of muslims and other communities and try to get the results to benfits muslim and others.

      • shahab says:

        I completely agree with what mr Ghousuddin says. Its enough of dilemma . If you think keeping silent is not going to benefit either . If you look at the agitation taken by other parties , it seems to be almost certain that telangana will happen if not immediately in couple of years time .

        People of hyderabad especially muslims are looking upto MIM hoping they would say something or other , so that even they can take a stand whether or not to go with telagana movement.
        If telagana carved out and then there is no contribution of muslims in that cause , again people are going to be after muslims saying you did nothing for hte cause

      SALAAMALAIKUM

      “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality” thus spake John.F.Kennedey

      A muslim and an educated person like Asad Saab who has all the ability and qualifications to become a CM should join hands with people who are on the correct side of truth.

      This issue is an issue of region not religion. but implicit in the creation of a new state is the benefits for muslims. our strength as a percentage in Assembly will increase, making us kingmakers or even kings.

      Owaisi Saab, consider these lines from Jawahar Lal Nehru’s Glimpses of World History.
      A tamil muslim is much more closer to a tamil hindu than a kashmiri muslim.
      A bengali hindu is much more closer to a bengali muslim than to a punjabi hindu.

      So, I want to ask all of you. How is a Telangana Muslim closer to Andhra Hindu than to a Telangana Hindu.

      • Shareq says:

        Please follow Quran and sunnah, dont follow John.F.Kennedey,Jawahar Lal Nehru,

        • Yakoob says:

          Are you saying that jamat-e-islam hind does not follow quran when they speak in support f Telangana?

          • Naseer says:

            Partitions and deviation are never in favor of Muslims. It only separates the power of politics. Hope my Muslim brothers understand this.

      • R says:

        To MD nasreen,
        Telengana is a issue for hindus or other religion but not for muslims . If Ap united or seperated a muslim will not get any thing unless we muslim should united poltically by our own paryt (MIM) sure if telengana seperated MIM can become kingmaker but think one’s again if all muslims of indian state get united then they can become king maker for PM or PM.(A tamil muslim is much more closer to a tamil hindu than a kashmiri muslim.
        A bengali hindu is much more closer to a bengali muslim than to a punjabi hindu.)for this words i would like to tell u @ the time of police action this hyderabadi hindus as u said closer to hyderabadi muslim had killed thousands of innocient muslims & again in gujarat they did the same.they want to make telengana for their benefits.

        • Yakoob says:

          why not for muslims?
          agar ek road acha banta hein to usko sirf hindu use karte hein kya?
          if there is proper electricity, do only hindus get to use it?
          if there is a proper water supply, do only hindus get to drink water?

          you get united for political power based on opinion not religion. a road is road for anybody, pani is pani for anybody irrespective of religion.

          you are talking about police action, do you know how many hindu naxalites, these police kills. after police action not all hindus wanted to unite with india, there was a big communist party led by Maqbool mohiuddin and raavi narayan reddy who wanted to stay as separate country.

          why do you want to think that all the Telangana or Andhra is against muslims and muslims have to fight. I am happy for MIM that they maintain muslim unity but that should be limited to religion.

  2. Asak,

    The aggetations which are happening not to give Hyderabad under telangana are basically lead by the Leaders from Andhra and Rayalseema who have invested hugely in Hyderabad and outside Hyderabad in the form of Lands, Farms, Industries Etc.
    They feel that once there assets are in Telangana they cant have it under their control as they have now, Hence the are making lots of disturbances.
    We Feel that whatever decision MIM will take on this issue would be a good one and will help the community in particular.

    MiM is worried over the Muslim Community Interests and nothing else more then that for them as every community leaders worried for them in this Hour of Crisis.

    So what is wrong if MiM leader Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi raises the issue of Muslim interests in this whole crisis as they have there genuine demands which have not been met by neither TRS or anyone so in Democracy we have all right to ask our Demands.

    They TRS or Congress or TDP think they can give instructions to the Muslim Community and they should obey it blindly this is wrong thinking .We have our own leadership in the State of Andhra Pradesh which comes to the rescue of the Community at the difficult times whether it was the riots in Bhainsa or anywhere no one came to the Muslims Community other then MiM so they cannot decide our fate without consulting MiM and if they were so worried over Muslims welfare then why TRS or Congress did they not elect single Muslim MP or MLA from Telangana Region but when it comes to there issue they ask us to run behind them like slaves.

    Those Muslim Organizations who have given support to TRS are giving the rights of Muslims in exchange of nothing but in fear and personal interests and if MiM wants it can also do similar dealings with TRS or Congress but it hasn’t cause Muslim Welfare and interests are before anything for MiM and they cannot sell themselves like ZAK and MBT.

    • Ghousuddin says:

      Let our leaders Mr. Asad and Mr. Akbar pass the conditions to the center, TRS and telagana leaders and fight for muslims rights. Like Percentage on govt sector jobs, urdu official language, houses to poor muslims, education to poor muslims and etc.

    • Baqer-MAW says:

    I request you all please, send your comments after watching the debate on Telengana.

    Some of the very good questions were asked ?

    If Telengana created official language will be used as URDU ? as there is already a TELEUGU language state existed ANDHRA ?

    Muslims represenations in Congress, TDP and TRS are negligible, and still claiming they are representing Muslims.

    Muslims representation less than 1% in Government Jobs ?

    The BIG QUESTION IS United Andhra or Telengana, what benefits will Muslims gets ?

  7. Hyderabad, Dec. 14: People from the Andhra region, who reside in places like KPHB, Chandanagar, Miyapur and other places, approached the MIM urging the party to de-mand Union Territory status for Greater Hyderabad. They believe the MIM’s in-tervention will force the Centre to reverse its decision on bifurcation of the state.

    Though the MIM has been silent on ongoing agitation, the party had earlier demanded that Hyderabad be made a separate state if the Centre wanted to carve out a new state for the Tela-ngana region. The earlier demand of the MIM had given hope to people to pursue the matter again. “The MIM leaders should break their silence and come to the rescue of Andhra people who reside in Hyderabad,” said Mr M. Prem Kumar, a resident of Miyapur.

    “Either a Union Territory status or a separate state of Hyderabad will ensure the safety for the people from other regions who are settled in the city,” he added.

    Many residents in KPHB feared that the Centre will go ahead with the process of giving shape to Telangana state without considering them.

  8. kumar says:

    Union territory. separate state neither possible nor desirable.
    No election felection non-sense. Only union territory with administrator.

  9. someone says:

    I studied intermediate in kukatpally. An andhra shopkeeper in that area commented on me saying “how come u living in the andhra desa since your birth, dont know telugu.”

  10. someone says:

    Make hyderabad a union territory having urdu as the official language. Urdu tehzeeb of hyderabad is vanishing as the city is becoming more metropolitan.
    I fear may be one day hyderabadi urdu may become andhra urdu

    • Proud to be a Hyderabadi says:

      Dear Some one,
      I too with you to make Urdu as official language. We youth have to do some thing for this serious issue because Urdu is our mother language.( mother tongue) we are from Hyd then why we should know other language (Telugu). We should say prouldly that iam Hyderabadi that why i speak Urdu.

  11. zameer says:

    This will be a best opportunity to demand :

    Urdu as State Official Language,
    Equal Job and Educational Opportunities,
    Land for all Hyderabadis

    If anyone having something in their mind please include in this list.

  12. Ghousuddin says:

    Please remove united andhra petiotion from your site and put seperation petiotion

    • zubair mohammed sultan says:

      salamalukum , i would like to ask to the supremo of aimim, the circumstances in hyderabad is worst since a month now, but our beloved leaders are sitting quite, we would like to know what is aimim stand about the telengana issue.
      we are very surprise as our party is not giving any statement about the issue. it is a high time, you are there as our representatives and it is your responsibility to come forward and /make a good decision in favour of ummaha. i hope we will see a quick response from asad or akber bhai very soon. allhafiz

      • Ghousuddin says:

        I do agree with your message Mr. Zubair. This is the right time to give solution to our people by our leaders Mr. Asad bhai and Mr. Akbar bhai. I mean to say people of telangana and andhra. Take a good stand and fight for muslims and non muslim of Telangana and take decision which benifits both. Because since many decades these andhra people came to hyderabad without sleepers and now wearing costliest shoes. I am not jeolous of these andhra people. But, I am feeling bad that we people (telangana people muslim and others) are going backward and our leaders are not taking any steps and keeping silent and leaders of andhra making their base in hyd and dominating in every government and private sectors by using brains and working hard. In govt they are more and private sector they are giving jobs to andhra people. But I am sorry to say to the leaders of telangana. what for u have taken votes from us. Atleast now do favour for public of Telangana. This message is for all the leaders of telangana irrespective of any parties.

  16. Moin says:

    I hope Asad bhai will consider all aspects when voicing his opinions. I would prefer Seperate telangana over United AP for following reasons

    1) Historically all of telangana was under nizam. Both communities have respected each other’s culture and preserved their own. Muslims in telangana have their own identity, but muslims in andhra are mixed with telugus. Older generation hindus from telangana can even read and write Urdu.

    2) When the state becomes smaller, MIM will have major role in politics, they can even be part of government.

    3) I have a bad feeling about making HYD a Union territory. It won’t help us at all. It will only make Andhras happy.

    I feel bigger problem for old city muslims is lack of quality education. I don’t know how the current situation is but when i was a kid not many muslims kids were interested in school and their parents didn’t bother about it.

    Muslims in other parts of the state are well aware of importance of education and its value.

    Some Statements Made by MiM Supremo Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi over New Delhi Meet on Jan 5 in Newspapers.

    Though MIM will participate in the Jan 5 talks in New Delhi convened by the Central Govt it will not make its stand known in the meeting. The party is not sure whether it will be a one-off meeting or more such parleys will be conducted by the Centre. Responding to the Centre’s invitation, MIM supremo Asaddudin Owaisi said, “Muslims should be taken on board before arriving at any solution on T as they constitute a sizeable portion of AP population.” TOI

    Welcoming the Centre’s initiative on All Party Consultations over the Telanagna Issue in New Delhi on Jan 5 , MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi said his party could not spell out its stand without knowing the agenda or whether the consultations would be spread out over a period of time. He, however, said it was good that all stakeholders, including MIM, were being consulted whereas it was earlier treated as a Congress-and-TRS affair.

  18. Subramanyam says:

    Here is an article by reputed and highly respected columnist Mr M J Akbar published today Sunday Times of India – January 3rd 2010, under the caption “Road to peace is through Kashmir”

    After reading the article I was surprised and verified the caption once again as the article completely resembles the today’s fight for the separation of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh. “Which comes first?” he asked “peace on earth or goodwill towards people?”

    Telugu people are emotional – like we people in India as well as in Pakistan. Any Andhra person finds the same genuine goodwill when he meets any of native of Telangana – be it an auto driver or taxi driver or your colleague in office your Managing Director in a company where you are working or even a lawyer who represents your case in a court where the opposite party’s lawyer is from Andhra!

    Telangana is going to be the child of the two-state theory. This is not a matter of geography. Its premise is that Andhras and Telangana people belong to two separate states. Our own Muhammad Ali Jinnahs reiterated million times that living with Andhras is submission to Andhra Capitalists and their oppression. The present day leaders propagated the idea that Andhras people are looting the estates of Telangana people left and right. And they sneered at the people who advised that sustainability of single and united Telugu people state is not only possible but also desirable. And similar to what Mr MJ Akbar has said, Hyderabad will become major issue. Ironically the support of Muslim body MIM is much needed and all the Telugu speaking people are waiting and watching to hear what MIM bosses are going to declare.

    In Andhra – Muslims enjoy both ways! One Mr Shameem – who came from Eluru and was working in a software company at Madhapur. Last year January – he was asking me about when the Sankranti (Pongal) will start. I informed the date and asked him why? He said he will be going to his native Eluru as his sister will be coming along with her husband for the festival. “For Pongal?” I wondered. Yes.. we celebrate and give away new clothes – he said. And when the Ramzan arrived – he started fasting and on the day of Holy Ramzan he went again to Eluru to enjoy the festival.

    Why not bloody we Telugu people??
