Clear stand: MPs Madhu Yaskhi Goud, M. Jagannath and G. Vivekananda after a meeting in Hyderabad on Sunday.
HYDERABAD: Three Telangana Congress MPs have said the remark by the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that consensus was needed to create Telangana was a matter of serious concern.
Congress MPs – Madhu Yaskhi Goud (Nizamabad), Manda Jagannath (Nagarkurnool) and G. Vivekananda (Peddapally) – who met here on Sunday said they were surprised by the statement made by the Prime Minister in Parliament. “We will meet him and try to get clarification about the statement,” the three MPs said talking to reporters after the meeting.
They pointed out that there was no mention about consensus in the December 9 and 23 statement made by Union Home Minister P. Chidamabaram. Mr. Vivekananda said Telangana Congress MPs would not hesitate to resign their Lok Sabha membership if the Srikrishna Committee report was against the interests of Telangana region.
“All the MPs are confident that Centre would concede Telangana,” he said adding that the Congress MPs from the region would submit a report to the panel in support of separate State. The MPs hoped that APCC chief D. Srinivas in his report would certainly make mention about the Congress election manifesto and the stand it had taken on the statehood issue.
Attack condemned
They condemned the uncivilised attack on the advocates when they were staging a protest at a meeting organised by the TDP. They wanted criminal cases to be filed against the culprits.
Meanwhile, Anantapur MP Ananta Venkatrami Reddy said people who were in support of united Andhra Pradesh could send their reports to him. He gave two email addresses for communication. The email IDs of the MP are mpanantapur@yahoo.com and mpanantha@gmail.com. He said there are people in all the 23 districts who are still in favour of integrated State. The data sent by various people would be compiled and the same would be submitted to the Srikrishna Committee, he added.
