He argued that an individual with such a criminal background , global legacy should not be honored in India and said that hosting Blair in Hyderabad disrespects taxpayers and citizens.

Dr. Paul urged Indians, particularly the Telugu community, to voice their dissent by tagging Tony Blair, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, and media organizations. Moreover, he called on the public to peacefully oppose Blair’s presence and to share his message widely. Furthermore, he emphasized that such collective action is essential for protecting Hyderabad’s reputation and for ensuring accountability in public decision-making.

Paul, known for his Global Peace and humanitarian initiatives and outspoken commentary on international politics, has frequently raised concerns about global governance, peace, and accountability. His latest statement continues this pattern, urging the public and political leadership to reconsider decisions that may have far-reaching implications for the state and the Nation’s reputation and the responsible use of public funds.
