PW's boycott call

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, MARCH 15. The outlawed People's War (PW) has asked people to boycot and `prevent' the "Bharat Uday Yatra'' undertaken by the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, in the State alleging that such yatras were only meant to incite people's passions and thereby reap electoral benefits.

In a statement issued here on Monday, the PW North Telangana Special Zonal Committee spokseman, Malkapuram Bhaskar, said Mr. Advani was only trying to propagate the programme of the Sangh Parivar through his yatra. He said the BJP was resorting to "doublespeak'' on the issue of forming separate Telangana State.
