Summary:
more-inTwo hundred and seventy two mass organisations with and without political affiliation on Tuesday formed Telangana Mass and Social Organisations Forum (T MAS Forum), with the aim of waging struggles for democracy, social justice and people’s rights. Conspicuous by their absence were representatives of mass organisations of the Communist Party of India, and Telangana JAC. The coming together of various mass fronts was towards waging struggles over people’s issues, he said. Though a political forum was aspired for, there were differences among various stakeholders, he said. Both should be countered by forming a joint force of democratic and secular organisations, he said, and vowed to work for development of T MAS Forum from village level, towards setting the social justice agenda for 2019 elections..
