Earlier ahead of I-Day, Laddu Yadav sparked stir as the Hyderabad police has removed a controversial banner with provocative writing from a busy traffic intersection in the city after its display went viral on social media. The banner was put up by an organination called Bhagat Singh Yuva Sena at Moazzam Jahi Market crossroads in the heart of the city.
It was installed by Laddu Yadav to thank PM Modi for the Ram temple in Ayodhya and for Independence Day greetings. It carried pictures of the Prime Minister, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy, BJP MLA Raja Singh and Laddu Yadav. However the writings on the hoarding were provocative.
Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) leader Amjedullah Khan had raised strong objection to the silence of the authorities over the controversial banner saying this could vitiate the atmosphere in the city and disturb peace and communal harmony.
Khan alleged that the Hyderabad police which was very harsh in dealing with protests by Muslim organizations over various issues was silent and soft towards the RSS and pro-Hindutva elements. He cautioned that this attitude may lead to communal disturbance in Telangana during the upcoming Muharram and Ganesh festival.
