Telangana bill passed: Democracy killed in broad daylight, says Jagan Mohan Reddy

First time in my experience that you shut down live telecast and keep country in the dark.

I have never witnessed such a scene. It's beyond my 'bardash' (tolerance). I couldn't sit and decided to walk out. We decided that we cannot be part of such a division.

I am more sad then angry. Today democracy has come to a standstill. Point is people of this country - 1.2 billion people - have a right to listen to the discussion. Spirit of democracy has been killed. Speaker is the custodian of democracy.

Stopping Loksabha telecast was an extreme step as bad as pepper spray.We couldn't believe it in Rajya Sabha Ghettoised ,guilt ridden mindset

A bill was introduced in the House without anybody to say Yes or No. The bill was introduced undemocratically. It was done against the will of the people of Andhra Pradesh...democracy was killed in broad daylight. We are calling for a bandh in Andhra Pradesh tomorrow

Congress wants to divide the country. The Telangana bill was passed in chaos.

T-Bill passed by Voice Vote in a din. Only if MPs had shown Parliamentary Skills and not Muscle Power Democracy would have emerged stronger.
