The Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) on Wednesday demanded that the leaders attending the meeting of political parties convened by the Centre in Delhi on Thursday should put pressure on the government for formation of a separate Telangana and accused Union Home Minister P Chidambaram of “dilly-dallying” on the statehood issue.
“Home Minister P Chidambaram has made three different statements on the meeting convened in Delhi. First,he said the government will discuss the Srikrishna Committee report. Then he said the meeting is only to distribute the report. Later,he said the parties have the final responsibility on the Telangana issue. It is clear the Centre is dilly-dallying on the Telangana issue,” JAC Convener M Kodandaram told reporters here.
The Centre has not moved a bit on the Telangana issue as it held a meeting of political parties in last January and is holding a meet again now to discuss the same thing,he said.
Representatives of political parties attending tomorrow’s meeting should mount pressure on the Centre for formation of a separate Telangana,Kodandaram said.
Centre’s dilly-dallying,although it has concrete information,is resulting in anger among Telangana people,Kodandaram alleged.
The JAC will organise a protest at Indira Park here on Thursday,demanding that the Centre should introduce a Bill in Parliament for the formation of Telangana state.
TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao,leaders of BJP and the people’s organisations,who are part of the JAC,will participate in the protest.
