The Tehrik participants first arrived at the local press club where their leaders delivered speeches and also talked to journalists.
Later, they went to the Hyderabad Development Authority Park, Qasimabad, where a dinner was arranged in their honour.
When they reached the park, activists of the STPP threw stones, rotten tomatoes and eggs on them while the police failed to take any action.
