Pro-Telangana protestors try to march towards Parliament
New Delhi:The security personnel here on Monday defused an attempt of hundreds of pro-Telangana protestors, including lawyers, students and other activists to march towards Parliament. The protestors who started marching towards parliament from Jantar Mantar succeeded
in crossing the first barricade and ran towards Parliament Gate number five. Police
used water cannons to disperse the protestors. They persisted in trying to march
towards the Parliament, demanding that the Centre immediately bring a bill in
Parliament favouring the formation of Telangana. Holding placards and shouting
slogans demanding the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the protestors tried to march
towards Parliament but were prevented by police near the Transport Bhavan. However,
a group of nearly 150 lawyers slipped away and managed to reach near the parliament
annexe. They tried to forcibly enter the place, but were stopped by the security
personnel.
