Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will feature as the chief guest for the 'Hyderabad Liberation Day' celebration by the Union government, hosted on Wednesday at Parade Grounds.
This annual event commemorates the 1948 annexation of Hyderabad State, previously under Nizam rule, into the Indian Union. Distinguished political figures such as Union Ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and G Kishan Reddy are expected to attend, confirming BJP sources.
Despite various political interpretations, the event underscores a pivotal historical transition. While the BJP regards September 17 as a liberation from tyrannical rule, the Telangana government emphasizes it as a day for 'People's Governance', highlighting persistent political divides.
