Letters to the Editor
Telangana issue
The UPA government's hasty
announcement to bifurcate
Andhra Pradesh, without doing the
necessary homework, opened a
Pandora's Box which forced the
Centre to appoint a committee to
resolve the Telangana issue. As the
editorial "The way forward on
Telangana" (Feb. 16) points out,
the Srikrishna Committee needs
the time and the space to do its job.
It is the responsibility of all
stakeholders to create a
cooperative environment to enable
the committee to examine the
issue objectively.
R. Gopinathan,
Thiruvananthapuram

The Srikrishna Committee's terms
of reference look fine to those who
are oblivious to the travails of the
people of the Telangana region. All
their efforts to get what is
rightfully theirs and what was
promised were obstructed by the
people of the rest of Andhra
Pradesh. The Centre has once
again succumbed to the lobbying
by leaders of coastal Andhra and
Rayalaseema. The terms of
reference, which include seeking a
range of solutions and identifying
the optimal solutions, clearly
indicate which way the Committee
is heading.

When students jumped into the
fray, they made the Telangana
movement stronger and showed
what student power is. But with a
concrete solution to the issue not
likely to emerge for several
months, there is growing concern
over students losing an academic
year due to the prolonged
agitation. Besides political leaders,
university and college teachers,
government employees, parents
and the people should appeal to the
students to return to their classes
leaving further action to the
elected representatives.
M.A. Hakeem,

The editorial has rightly advised all
stakeholders to wait till the
Srikrishna Committee submits its
report. The recent developments
such as the resignation of MLAs
and the emergence of students at
the forefront of the agitation at the
expense of their studies are
disturbing. Some unemployed
politicians seem to be using muscle
and money power to finance the
agitation to meet their selfish aims.
It is time to review whether the
present system of universal adult
franchise and democracy with
unlimited freedom of expression -
without regard to the unity and
prosperity of the nation - is good
for us.

The resignation of 12 Telangana
MLAs is unfortunate. In order to
promote a sectional interest, they
are making attempts to pressure
public opinion. MLAs and MPs are
expected to address people's issues
in the legislature. En masse
resignations undermine the
normal functioning of elected
governments. How can a person
who shirks his constitutional duty
uphold high standards of public
morality?
M. Satya Narayana Rao,
Warangal
