INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Hyderabad: It seems nothing can stop Telangana labour minister Ch Malla Reddy from intruding public homes
Neither the Supreme Court directives, High Court's stay orders nor his own government's rules are available in the way of his misbehaviours,
if specific recent advancements are of any indication.If some of his relocations are supposedly focused on making financial advantages, some
others are stated to be to retain power by impressing electorate including forcible construction of a place of religious praise in a public
park in Annojiguda, Ghatkesar, on the city borders
Victims of the minister's misdemeanour are inmates of a school run for orphans and impoverished children besides the residents of the area
who are deprived of a lung area
Needless to state, the regional municipal, revenue and police officials maintain stoic silence over the gross offense of court directives by
the minister and his followers.Inquiries by this paper exposed that when efforts were made to build a temple in the general public park in
about 150 sq yds, the Jesus Method School, run by Joint Christian Action Committee (JCAC), obtained a stay order against the construction
from the High Court in 2013
We are not against any religious beliefs
There are already numerous temples in the vicinity, and we have actually just been asking for the minister's fans to spare the lung space,
which is progressively ending up being limited in this concrete jungle, said Anita Sen of JCAC
After some lull, the construction resumed after Malla Reddy ended up being MLA in 2018
Despite obtaining the stay order from the High Court and even starting contempt procedures, the construction went unobstructed and the
location of infringement infect 1,000 sq yds, she said.It should be recalled that in December 2012, the then state government had put curbs
on building places of worship without the consent of district collectors, particularly in backwoods
In a 2009 order, the Supreme Court had likewise asked the Centre to guarantee that no temple, church, mosque or gurudwara was developed
unlawfully on government land
The school management implicated the Minister of going to the school with scores of his followers, frightening the personnel and
pressurising them not to challenge the building of the temple
When we refused to provide a 'no objection' declaration, Malla Reddy was furious and threatened us with grave consequences
His assistants even criminally trespassed our school premises to threaten us , stated Bishop Mathew, who runs the school along with the
JCAC.When this correspondent looked for explanation from Rachakonda Cops Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat and local Inspector N Chandrababu, both
of whom got several grievances in the past, the previous refused to speak about the case while the latter stated it was sub-judice
Padma Priya also refused to react to the questions
When contacted, the minister stated a compromise had been exercised in between the school management and Kondal Reddy, the Pocharam GHMC
Chairman and his aides developing the temple
I have told both the parties not to interfere with each other, he stated and dismissed allegations of intimidating the school authorities.
