All-party meet on Telangana appeals to maintain peace | The all-party meeting on Telangana convened by the Union Government on Tuesday could not arrive at a
consensus but appealed to the people of Andhra Pradesh to maintain peace and harmony and allow the government to initiate development activities. "We have expressed
our views at the meeting and they have been noted by the Central government,"
a brief joint statement of the all parties stated. "It is our earnest appeal that
peace, harmony, and law and order should be maintained in the State," the statement
added. Union Home Minister P Chidambaram called all the eight recognised political
parties for consultation on Tuesday morning to evolve a roadmap to solve the Telangana
state issue, which has witnessed a lot of violent activities in the state. "The
centre is only playing the role of a facilitator, the meeting was conveyed to
help all the political parities to arrive at a consensus," said P. Chidambaram
after the meet. Chidambaram informed that he would brief the views expressed by
different political parties to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during their meet
and hoped a decision would be arrived "in a reasonable time." He, however, also
hinted that another all party meeting is likely to be held. Now it is clear that
the ball is in Delhi 's court, so the future of Andhra Pradesh and following political
developments depend on decision of the Centre. Telangana Rashtra Samiti Chief
K Chandrasheksr Rao said no decision was taken during the meeting, and he would
wait till the final decision of the Centre." Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) Chief and
Cine Star Chiranjeevi alleged that Congress and Telugu Desam Party are playing
with the future of the Andhra Pradesh people. Chiranjeevi said that his party
was not satisfied with Tuesday's meeting and added that only united Andhra Pradesh
could achieve more development. Both Congress and TDP sent their representatives
each from Telangana and Rayalseema regions placed their individual opinion. TDP leader and former minister Yerren Naidu said that it is not a flip-flop
in his party's stand but the party is acting as per the direction of people."
During the meeting, the BJP demanded the Centre to bring Telangana Bill in the
next parliament session, while the MIM party demanded that the interest of minority
community should be taken into consideration while taking any decision. In the
morning, the heat of pro and anti Telangana protest reached the high security
North Block area when two different groups started sloganeering for Telangana
and for-united Andhra in front of Home Ministry. Meanwhile, all the protesting
activists were arrested by the police. |
