Telangana issue: TRS to wait till all-party joint action committee meet

TRS MPs and legislators, who had decided to resign to protest the terms of reference of the committee on Telangana, today said they would wait till the Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting before making the move.
    
The decision came in the wake of a request from all-party JAC convenor C Kodandaram to hold back their resignations till it takes a call on the matter.

"The JAC is scheduled to meet in the evening and a collective decision will be taken on the issue of resignation," Kodandaram told reporters after a meeting with TRS MLAs in the state assembly.

TRS floor leader in the assembly E Rajender said his party agreed to the request made by the JAC Convenor in the interest of its unity.

He, however, said his party is committed to submit resignation to the Speaker as planned earlier.
    
TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has been spearheading the Telangana agitation, had yesterday slammed the terms of reference of the Sri Krishna Committee appointed by the Centre as a "betrayal" and directed all his party MPs, MLAs and MLCs to resign from their posts immediately.
