Hyderabad: MLAs of YSR Congress alleged that some media persons had “manhandled” them at Media Point on the Assembly premises. They had complaint to Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar about the incident when they went to address the media.
Report claims that when a group of YSRC MLAs reached the spot to address the media, some reporters and cameramen belonging to a TV channel and a newspaper from Telangana allegedly manhandled them and tried to prevent them from addressing the media.
Following this, the YSRC legislators rushed to the Speaker with their complaint against the media persons and demanded that strong action be taken. They also demanded that the Assembly media passes of the guilty be cancelled.
The Speaker had ordered the police authorities to check the CCTV footage, establish the facts and identify the guilty.
As the Media Point turned into a virtual battle ground with some Telangana legislators trying to prevent their Seemaandhra colleagues from addressing the media after the House was adjourned the second time following the tabling of the draft Bill on creation of Telangana.
Meanwhile TRS MLAs pushed the former away and virtually tried to punch them as some TDP MLAs from Seemaandhra tore the copies of the draft bill which was presented in Andhra Pradesh Assembly.
Police however, intervened and prevented a fight but there was heavy jostling at the Media Point.
