Hyderabad, Aug 11 (IBNS) K Kavitha, Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) MP and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was booked on sedition charges for her remarks that Hyderabad and Kashmir were forcibly merged into India on Monday.

A Hyderabad lawyer has filed an FIR for the remarks under section 124-A, 153-B and 505 of IPC, said reports.

"Jammu and Kashmir and Telangana were both forcefully and at the same time annexed to the Indian Union. When I say I feel strongly, it's because we were both separate countries, but were merged with the Indian Union after Independence. In 1947, we were not a part of India," she was quoted saying at a newspaper idea exchange function.

"Few parts were not ours, we should agree, we should redraw the international lines, and move on," she said referring to Kashmir and the condition of Kashmiri Pandits.

A local court in Hyderabad earlier directed the police to probe and file a case against K Kavitha for her remarks.
