Telangana panel terms of reference to also consider united AP

New Delhi/Hyderabad, Feb 12 (PTI) The Indian
government's high-level committee to go into the emotive issue
of Telangana has also been asked to examine the option of a
united Andhra Pradesh and given a year's time to do its job
but Telangana Rashtra Samiti rejected it, announcing that its
MPs and MLAs will resign immediatley.

Under the seven-point terms of reference the
committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice B N
Srikrishna Committee, constituted on February 3, will examine
the impact of the recent developments in the southern Indian
state on the different sections of the people such as women,
children, students, minorities, other backward classes,
scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
The Committee has also been mandated to review the
developments in Andhra Pradesh since its formation and their
impact on the progress and development of the different
regions of the state.
It will "examine the situation in the state of Andhra
Pradesh with reference to the demand for a separate state of
Telangana as well as the demand for maintaining the present
status of a united Andhra Pradesh," the ToR said. The
committee has been asked to submit its report by December 31
this year.
In Hyderabad, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has
been spearheading the Telangana agitation, said, "The Centre
has betrayed us once again".
He directed all his party MPs, MLAs and MLCs to
resign from their posts immediately in protest against the
"betrayal". (More) PTI ACB
