Committee on Telangana should stick to clear time-frame: JAC

Hyderabad, Jan 30 (PTI) The committee proposed to be
appointed by the Centre to go into Telangana issue should
stick to a clear time-frame, all-party Telangana Joint
Action Committee (JAC) spearheading the agitation for the
separate state said here Saturday.
"They should commit to the December 9 programme and have
a clear time-frame. These are our two expectations," JAC
Convener C Kodandaram told PTI here Saturday.
Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram had on December 9
stated that the process of forming the state of Telangana will
be initiated and an appropriate resolution moved in the Andhra
Pradesh Assembly.
The JAC insisted on a time-frame for the completion of
the task by the proposed committee as it fears the panel may
end up like the women's reservation bill, Kodandaram said.
"We said some time-frame should be there. Otherwise, it
would become an endless process. Like the women's reservation
bill, it will never see the light of the day," he said.
The committee should be within the framework of the
two demands, he said, adding JAC has not discussed the nature
of the panel.
"Within the framework of these two demands, the committee
should be only for formation of Telangana. Nothing short of
this will satisfy us," he said and added JAC would continue
its agitation if the Centre's announcement falls short of its
expectations. PTI
