New Delhi: Congress General
Secretary Digvijaya Singh said that
Hyderabad will eventually be a part
of Telangana after 10 years.
Speaking to Karan Thapar on Devil's
Advocate, Digvijaya said Hyderabad
will be considered as part of
Telangana during the 10 years it acts
as a joint capital.
Here is the transcript of an excerpt
from the interview:
Karan Thapar: Critical issue is the
future of Hyderabad. What
assurance can you give that at the
end of ten years when it stops being
the joint capital Hyderabad will be
entirely Telangana and it won't suffer
the fate of Chandigarh which was
promised to Punjab but ended up
being a union territory and
permanently divided between
Haryana and Punjab?
Digvijaya Singh: If you see the
resolution it categorically promises
Hyderabad to the state of Telangana.
Karan Thapar: So was Chandigarh
promised to Punjab in the 60s?
Digvijaya Singh: One second, and also
we have put in the resolution; every
effort will be made to have a new
capital for the new state of
Seemandhra.
Karan Thapar: Let me ask you a test
question. During the ten years that
Hyderabad is the joint capital will it
be considered to be part of the
territory of Telangana or would it be
considered a union territory.
Digvijaya Singh: It will be part of
Telangana state.
Karan Thapar: So it will be part of
Telengana state even though it is a
joint capital?
Digvijaya Singh: Yes. |
