Hyderabad, April 23: The Srikrishna Committee, appointed by the Centre to look into the Telangana issue, will not furnish any interim report but aims to submit its findings as per schedule.
“There will be no interim report. We expect to complete the work very much on schedule (December 31),” B N Srikrishna, Head of the Committee, told reporters here today at the end of a two-day visit to the city.
The committee heard the views of Praja Rajyam, CPI(M) and CPI during the visit. While Praja Rajyam and CPI(M) stand for united Andhra Pradesh, CPI supports a separate Telangana.
“We had useful interaction with the Praja Rajyam, CPI, and CPI(M). They have given us useful inputs. Of course, each party has its own way of looking at the problem, its own perceived solution. They are yet to be analysed. On the basis of all the inputs, we will take some view,” Srikrishna said.
The five-member panel has so far heard the views of TRS, Praja Rajyam, CPI(M) and CPI. It will hold consultations with ruling Congress and main Opposition TDP on May 6 and 7.
Asked what will be the main criteria for the panel in taking the final decision — whether sentiments of the people or opinions of political parties, the former Supreme Court Judge said the committee is looking into the whole issue.
“Sentiments don’t come out of no where. Sentiments are on account of historical reasons, political reasons and economic reasons,” he said.
