July 26, 2011 / PTI, New Delhi / DC.

Folk artists from the Telangana region of the state of Andhra Pradesh participate in a cultural rally in support of the separate state of Telangana in Hyderabad - AFP.

Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said political parties in Andhra Pradesh must help the Centre find a solution to the Telangana issue but they are divided and a solution cannot be thrust down their throats.

"This is a unique situation where political parties in Andhra Pradesh are divided down the middle. Congress, Telugu Desam, CPI, CPI(M) are all divided. The only party which claims to be undivided is BJP because it has only one member," he said.

Therefore, he said, the political parties were divided and "we cannot thrust the solution down the throats of political parties who represent the people.

Chidambaram said so far as the Congress party was concerned, the effort was to unite the party and find a solution that was acceptable to all Congress MPs and MLAs.

This was what was being tried by his colleague and Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa's roadmap for finding a 13th Amendment-plus political solution will take the Tamil question in Sri Lanka to a Parliamentary Select Committee, which will look into it and propose suitable constitutional amendments, and then on to Parliament. Meanwhile, local elections in the 

Northern Province, which are being held on Saturday, would be followed by a Provincial Council election.

Asked about the absence of an enduring political solution 26 months after the war with the LTTE ended, the Sri Lankan President told me over a breakfast meeting at Temple Trees in Colombo: “I have asked my party and others to propose a Parliamentary Select Committee to look into a political solution, any amendments to the Constitution. Whatever the Parliamentary Committee recommends to me, I will accept – and ultimately it has to go to Parliament.”
