"liberation-day"

It was the responsibility of the government to tell the present generation when the State got independence and who was responsible for that, he said.

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

To portray the Telangana peasants’ movement against the Nizam as an anti-Muslim struggle and the merger of Hyderabad princely state with the Indian Union as ‘liberation’ is absolute distortion of history
