The Centre has done the right thing by calling an all-party meeting to find a solution to the Telangana issue. Politics is, after all, a process of conflict resolution. Condemning the Telangana movement will not bring an amicable solution. The willingness to admit and address the problem alone will lead to a positive outcome.
It is too much to expect the all-party meeting of January 5 in New Delhi to end the impasse over the Telangana tangle. The move is a small but positive step towards resolving the issue by free and frank discussions among the stakeholders.
More such meetings may be required to arrive at a solution that satisfies most of the political parties. The Centre’s move is a step in the right direction.
