Hyderabad: Addressing a news conference on Saturday, Telangana Brahmin Parishad chairperson Basavaraju Srinivas said, “The Brahmin Parishad would gather the details of eligible Brahmins who had participated in the Telangana movement from the village level to the state level, along with supporting evidence such as jail records, FIR copies, and medical reports relating to property loss or injuries, and submit them to the committee appointed to identify the Telangana martyrs”.He also said they had suggested the creation of an online system so that activists could directly submit their own details.
