Sri Krishna Committee, headed by Justice Sri Krishan who is looking into the demand for separate statehood of Telangana, will hear the opinions and views of the ruling Congress party in Andhra Pradesh the coming month. The Congress is the only party that is yet to present its views on the Telangana issue.
Justice Sri Krishna talking tot he media said that SKC has invited the Congress party to submit its arguments from July 5-7 2010.
Though all the parties, including the main opposition TDP, have submitted their arguments before the panel during last three months, the Congress had been avoiding a meeting. The Congress had postponed its scheduled meetings with the panel on two occasions in the past. SKC last month heard from different groups of the TDP on the Telangana issue.
Leaders of both TDP and Congress from Telangana support the demand for a separate state while their counterparts from Rayalaseema and Andhra regions are opposed to it.
The committee met 100 groups and 1,000 individuals during the last three months. “We are in the process of gathering information and inputs. We are sure that the train is progressing on time and will reach the destination on time,” he said.
The panel will begin region-wise visits in the coming month to listen people’s opinion. The committee’s member secretary, VK Duggal, said they would not visit those Telangana districts where by-elections to 12 assembly constituencies are scheduled in August. He denied that the SKC had urged the Election Commission to postpone the by-polls.
