Hyderabad: The BRS on Tuesday took serious objection to what it called “digital vandalism” by the state government resulting in removal of “crucial” and “important” information about Telangana history, and references about former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and the previous BRS government.
In a letter to Chief Secretary A, Santhi Kumari, BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao, condemned the removal of information from government websites, and social media handles, and demanded immediate restoration of the deleted content and bringing it back into public domain.
Rama Rao, according to a press release from the BRS, in his letter highlighted “the alarming trend of disappearing digital content,” which he called “a deliberate act of sabotage by certain elements within the state government.” Urging the Chief Secretary to acknowledge the issue, Rama Rao said the digital content was that was removed “is a crucial part of Telangana’s history and belongs to the people of Telangana, not to any individual or political party.”
“Future generations will not forgive the destruction of this public property based on the whims of a select few. This information should have been archived, not deleted. This digital content is crucial for historical archiving and should have been preserved,” Rama Rao said.
