Hyderabad: The Convenor of the Joint Action
Committee spearheading the agitation for Telangana today
warned the outfit might resort to non-cooperation movement if
the Centre failed to meet its January 28 deadline for
declaring a separate state.
The non-cooperation movement would be in the form of not
cooperating with the adminstration and the people not paying
their taxes or fees, Convenor C Kodandaram said.
He said MPs, MLAs and MLCs from Telangana region would
quit their posts after January 28 as per the deadline set by
the JAC to the Centre.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders from Telangana today
expressed their displeasure over criticism of the party from
others fighting for the statehood.
Ahead of JAC meeting this evening, Congress MLAs and MLCs
from Telangana region met among themselves separately and
decided to shoot off a letter to the Committee’s Convener
listing some suggestions for its functioning.
Senior Congress MLA R Damodar Reddy told reporters that
the message should go to the rank and file of all parties that
they should not indulge in mutual criticism and mud-slinging.
At the JAC meeting, Congress was represented by MLC B V
Mohan Reddy who handed over the suggestions to Kodandaram.
Senior leaders of the ruling party did not attend the
meeting as they had to attend another meeting, Kodandaram
said.
Damodar Reddy announced the party legislators would visit
Delhi on January 26 and meet all top leaders on separate
Telangana demand.
