The Telangana NRIs are angry with the Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily for his statement that the creation of a new state was the job of the Assembly. Moily's prescription that the State Assemblies must unanimously pass resolution on creation of any new state and send it to the Centre for follow-up action has come under attack from Telanganites in Britain and Europe.
In a statement, the UK and Europe branches of Telangana Development Forum have condemned the Union Minister's statement and said it reflected his complete lack of understanding about the basic constitutional procedures.
"According to Article 3 of the constitution, the Parliament can formulate the legislation on formation of new states. The President will only seek the opinion of the concerned State Assembly with a specific time-frame. Even if the Assembly opposes the legislation, the Parliament has all the powers to go ahead with creation of new states," a statement issued by the Forum's Media Secretary Nagender said.
He said it was unfortunate that a senior minister in the UPA government should be making such statements under the influence of the Seemandhra leaders. "When Seemandhra legislators constitute nearly 60 percent of the AP assembly, how can we expect the Telangana resolution to be passed unanimously," the statement wondered. The Telangana problem must be solved by the Centre instead of giving the lame excuse of lack of consensus at the state level, it said.
