Unfazed by criticism, TDP members in the Lok Sabha who are demanding ‘justice’ for Seemandhra will be continuing their protests in the House tomorrow notwithstanding an appeal from Speaker Meira Kumar against disruption of proceedings.
The four agitating members from Seemandhra – Naramalli Sivaprasad, Kristappa Nimmala, K Narayana Rao and N Venugopal Reddy – met the Speaker twice on Tuesday but they expressed their inability to take back their protest action.
Sivaprasad said that they could withdraw their protest if only Congress President Sonia Gandhi assured the people of Seemandhra that their problems would be addressed and that they will get justice in the wake of the decision on Telangana.
‘How can we withdraw our protest action when Congress Ministers, MPs and MLAs from Seemandhra are also protesting despite an assurance from Union Minister P Chidambaram?’, he asked. The House will take up discussion on the Food Security bill on Tuesday and opposition wants that the debate should be a smooth affair without any disruptions.
