Congress demands Centre’s intervention
Speaking to the media after meeting the Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda, along with a delegation from the Telangana Bar Association, Shabbir Ali said the Centre should have convened a meeting of the Chief Ministers\' of the two squabbling States to sort out the issue a long time ago.
New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in State Legislative Council Mohd Ali Shabbir on Wednesday demanded that the Centre intervene immediately in the vexatious High Court bifurcation issue.
Speaking to the media after meeting the Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda, along with a delegation from the Telangana Bar Association, Shabbir Ali said the Centre should have convened a meeting of the Chief Ministers' of the two squabbling States to sort out the issue a long time ago.
He wondered why the Chief Ministers of both States had neglected the issue for so long. He said the Union Law Minister had promised to look into the issue at the earliest and seek the counsel of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Shabbir Ali wondered why the TRS leadership was cooperating with the BJP in Parliament instead of seeking what was good for the State.
If the TRS MPs opposed the Bills in Parliament, the BJP would yield to the pressure, said Shabbir Ali, while assuring the TRS of the Congress party’s support in such efforts.
Commenting on the defections from the Congress to the TRS, he said a petition was filed in the apex court in this regard and it would come up for hearing on July 18. Four MPs, 25 MLAs and 18 MLCs had defected to the
TRS, to date, he said, and lamented that though the party had repeatedly appealed to the Speaker in this regard, no action had been taken.
Mudhole MLA Vithal Reddy was the first one to defect on June 7, 2014 to the TRS and no action had been initiated against him despite numerous complaints, said Shabbir Ali. He found fault with the Speaker for refusing to disqualify the defectors.
