The Mid-2011 Telangana protests refers to a chain of protests and mass resignations following the Million March incident. From April till June, the movement saw a lull,〔http://www.dayafterindia.com/detail.php?headline=content&catid=2134〕 with different parties citing various reasons and fresh deadlines to renew the agitation. In July, 81 of 119 Telangana MLAs in the state, 12 out of 15 Telangana ministers in state, 13 out of 17 Telangana MPs in Lok Sabha, 1 Rajyasabha MP(Congress), 20 MLCs resigned protesting delay in the formation of Telangana. On 20 July, 30-year-old Yadi Reddy was found dead 100 yards from Parliament House in Delhi. An eight-page suicide note says the young driver from greater Hyderabad region of Telangana was upset over the government not creating a new state for his homeland. The speaker of the AP assembly on 23 July summarily rejected the resignations of all 101 MLAs citing that they were made in an emotionally surcharged atmosphere. ==Lull in the movement== From April till June, the movement saw a lull,〔 with different parties citing various reasons to set fresh deadlines for renewal of the agitation. Telangana political parties and organizations vowed to intensity the movement in May which were reportedly suspended due to students examinations. TRS also threatened to include a 'boycott' of the academic year at all levels in the region. In June, Both TJAC & the Telangana Congress leaders set fresh deadlines to renew their agitation. While the TJAC threatened another Million March and bandhs starting 10 June, the Congress MPs decided to wait till 25 June and resign if separate statehood is not achieved by then. After this deadline they set another deadline till 5 July after which they vowed to launch an indefinite hunger strike. Fearing law & order problem due to violence similar to the Million March incident, State police refused to give permission to TRS to hold their formation day public meeting in Parade grounds in Hyderabad. In spite of the personal request to Union defence minister by KCR, the defence ministry turned down the request as the party could not get police clearance. Students of the Osmania University also had their summer vacation cancelled to conduct classes during the summer vacation and make up for the loss caused to academic activities due to Telangana agitation on the campus till March this year. A series of violent incidents on the campus had forced the university administration to postpone several exams. Congress party's leadership also reportedly said they will take decision on Telangana after assembly elections concluding on 10 May. The state government sanctioned Rs 75 lakh for repair and re-installation of statues on Tank Bund, demolished during the Million March incident. Along with installation of the 16 destroyed statues, another new statue of social activist from Telangana, Komaram Bheem, was also proposed to be installed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rs 75 lakh for new Tank Bund statues – southindia – Hyderabad )〕 According to government sources, Maoists are active in 1/3rd of districts in India. Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) of Andhra Pradesh Police, which monitors the Maoists, gathered "credible information" about the outlaws carrying their activities under the banner of the TJAC. "When the agitation for a separate state began in late 2009, some Maoist elements joined ranks with the students of Osmania University and indulged in violence. Now, they seem to have 'graduated' to a higher level and started working under the so-called political JAC, though the latter as such exists only on paper," a top-ranking police official remarked.〔http://www.indianexpress.com/news/inactive-maoists-now-working-under-telangana-banner-cops/797174/0〕 Even during the Million March in 2011 militant elements were suspected to be behind the destruction of statues on Tank Bund. On 11 January 2011, Madhu Yaskhi, Congress party MP, said "There is police deployment in every nook of Osmania University and Telangana. Not a single Maoist has been arrested despite police having draconian powers and having searched every hostel over and over again. That proves the lie, They are raising the Maoist bogey to defame the movement." In a unique form of protest, people from all walks of life came together on Hyderabad's roads on 19 June on a call given by Telangana JAC for a cook-and-eat agitation to demand a separate state. While various groups made arrangements on a massive scale for cooking food on roads, families set up small kitchens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cook-and-eat agitation in Hyderabad for Telangana state )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2011 Telangana protests」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
