Congress today said there was no need for any precipitate action on the part of its MPs in view of the home minister's announcement on Telangana.
"Only wide consultations have been called for that alone will ensure an abiding result acceptable to all sections", party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said.
His comments came against the backdrop of 11 party MPs deciding to resign in protest against the Centre's statement last night on the issue.
Chidambaram's statement yesterday said there was need for wide ranging discussions on the Telangana issue as the situation in Andhra Pradesh has altered since his December 9 statement.
The MPs, who met at Andhra Bhavan here, felt that the word consultations in Chidambaram's statement has created a perception among the people of Telangana that the issue of formation of separate state may take a longer time.
