A delegation of Ministers from Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions stated in their report submitted to Srikrishna Committee here on Friday that the demand for statehood to Telangana should be treated as a cognizable offence under IPC as it had the potential of disintegrating the country. “The Centre should not give credence to demands for self-rule and self-respect as it will sow seeds for disintegration of the country. Asking for a separate State on these grounds is equivalent to waging a war against Indian Union. It is most reprehensible and dubious ground for formation of a new State under Article 3 of the Constitution”, the delegation said.
