The state government, while clarifying that the
Srikrishna Panel Report was not a 'decision', appealed to people of all sections to exercise restraint and cooperate with the administration for maintaining law and order in the wake of the panel's recommendations being made public.
Home Minister P Sabitha Reddy told media persons at the Secretariat on Thursday that the report which the Committee submitted was not the final decision of the government, and that it was only a report.
She called upon people to understand that the report was not a decision of the government. Therefore, there was no need to express apprehensions in any quarter, Indra Reddy said.
"The Srikrishna Committee members did their job by handing over their findings on the contentious issue. Now it is on the government to arrive at a decision on the issue," she maintained. The centre now is expected to study it in detail including the options, and form a decision, she added.
The Home Minister issued an appeal through the media to all people, specifically students, not to resort to any type of violence.
At another meeting, Minister For Transport Botsa Satyanarayana gave an impression that they were yet to go into the details of the report for making any comment.
After being insisted to give a reaction, the minister gave an indication that he would stand by whatever decision was taken by the government.
In the light of the report tabled in New Delhi, the business in the state Secretariat has taken a back seat with the discussion occupying a centre stage.
