Telangana issue: Kakatiya University students demand a separate state

The Centre has put on hold the Telangana issue at present.
Holding placards and effigies, the students converged at a mass rally, where they burnt effigies and carried a mock funeral of political leaders opposing the creation of Telangana state.
The students were later baton charged by the police, who detained a large number of students and other activists during the protest. The police later released them.
The fast-unto-death launched by students of the Osmania University and the Kakatiya University has entered the third day on Saturday.

Home Minister P Chidambaram had made a brief statement on Wednesday night saying wide ranging consultations would be held to come out with a final solution on Telangana.
