Hyderabad, April 16 -- Telangana Tourism and Culture Minister Jupally Krishna Rao on Thursday strongly condemned BJP MP Tejasvi Surya's remarks comparing the formation of Telangana to the partition of India and Pakistan, terming them as "the epitome of ignorance."In a statement issued here, the Minister said such comments were a grave insult to the self-respect of the people of Telangana and to the sacrifices made by martyrs who laid down their lives for statehood.
He asserted that the formation of Telangana was the result of decades of struggle and was achieved through a constitutional and democratic process approved by Parliament.
"Equating it with the country's partition reflects a complete lack of understanding," he said.
