BJP president Amit Shah in Telangana: "It was my honour to felicitate the warriors, who fought against the Razakars and their atrocities, today in Gundrampalli village," Shah tweeted.

The Razakars were a private militia which supported the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad and helped him resist the integration of Hyderabad State into the Dominion of India in the aftermath India's independence.
