Don’t delay decision on Telangana, Karat urges PM
October 1st, 2011 - 8:05 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Prakash Karat Saturday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take a decision on the Telanagana issue immediately.
“Procrastination will only worsen the situation. I would urge you to see that a decision is taken on the matter without any further delay,” said Karat said in a letter, which was released to the media.
The CPI-M leader noted that for the past three weeks, the Telengana region has been paralysed by the agitation of the people demanding a separate state.
“It is now nine months since the Srikrishna Committee (which went into the demand for a separate state for Telegana) submitted its report on Telengana and Andhra Pradesh. We had expected that the government of India would take a decision on the matter after considering the report,” he said.
“All political parties and various sections of society in Andhra Pradesh had submitted their views to the Srikrishna Committee. Hence, there is no need for further consultations with political parties,” Karat said in his letter.
