Telangana: Azads damage control after PM remark

HYDERABAD: After Prime Minister Manmohan Singh remarked a couple of days ago that a hasty decision could not be taken to resolve the Telangana issue, AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said the Congress high command was keen on taking a decision on T as early as possible.
In what appeared to be a damage control exercise with Telangana activists making no secret of their displeasure over the Prime Minister's observation and the Telangana Congress MPs flying into a rage, Azad, speaking to mediapersons after the party's core committee meeting, said the process of consultations was still on and unless it was over, a decision could not be taken. He, however, did not say how long the process of consultations would take, contradicting himself again that the Congress was keen on taking a decision without any delay.
