Hyderabad, Dec.8 (ANI): Police in Hyderabad city on Tuesday detained several people protesting to demand that the issue of autonomy for Telangana be discussed in the ongoing Parliament session.

Rao, who has been spearheading a campaign for a separate Telangana state, was arrested in Karimnagar district on November 29, ahead of his fast-unto-death.
His fast entered the eighth day on Sunday.
