New Delhi, January 31: Grappling with the ticklish Telangana issue, Congress today indicated that the much-talked about mechanism on it was unlikely to be formed soon and asked partymen to withdraw from the Joint Action Committee agitating for statehoood, warning them of stern action for indiscipline.
Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said the Centre was seized of the matter on the formation of a committee or mechanism to look into all issues and concerns of all regions in Andhra Pradesh.
“The terms of reference are under preparation and not yet finalised,” Moily, who is also in charge of party affairs in the state, said in a statement.
Congress leaders should “withdraw” themselves from the Joint Action Committee, he said and warned that “any violation of the party discipline will be seriously dealt with”.
