On Monday, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy unveiled a monument of Telangana Talli at the Secretariat to mark the conclusion of the Praja Palana Vijayotsvalu in Hyderabad. Photo credit: RAMAKRISHNA G. Hours before the new Telangana Talli statue was inaugurated, the Telangana government issued a Government Order (GO) forbidding any disrespect to the picture. “Insulting, destroying, burning, or showing disrespect for Telangana Talli’s image openly, online, or on social media is a crime,” states the GO, as political parties and citizens disagree about the statue of a matronly figure.
