While the BRS commemmorated the day with the National Integration Day celebrations at Telangana Bhavan, the Congress-led State government organised its version as the Telangana Praja Palana Dinotsavam
Kishan Reddy said though the State government refused to officially celebrate September 17, the Centre took the initiative to celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day in 2022.
Says the government observed that it was wrong to act in such a way as to ignore sacrifices of Telangana martyrs of yesteryear by calling it Integration Day or Liberation Day
Kishan Reddy wrote a letter to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy stating that his party could not be part of an "insincere ritual that blatantly attempts to erase the truth from the people".
While the BJP-led Centre has for the last few years celebrated the day as Hyderabad Liberation Day, the previous BRS government had launched celebrations of the Telangana National Integration Day
Shah conveyed, "Wishing a joyous Hyderabad Liberation Day to the residents of Hyderabad. This occasion stands as a testament to the enduring patriotism of Hyderabad's people and their relentless fight for liberation from the oppressive rule of the Nizam."
This year is the 75th anniversary of Hyderabad’s annexation into the Indian Union, but the BJP-led government at the Centre has not sanctioned any special funds to celebrate the event
