The all-party meeting on the Telangana issue could not come out with a break through as the parties remained divided on the creation of a separate state. However, the rerpresentatives of all the eight parties that took part in the meeting wanted normalcy to be resored and made a joint appeal for peace and harmony in the state. They also felt that if further consultations were necessary with other stake holders and groups then they should be held within a reasonable time frame. The Home Minister P Chidambaram , while admitting that parties held different views on issue said it was a good meeting and he will take their views to the Prime Minister and his Cabinet colleagues and formulate course of action. <br/><br/>AIR correspondent says that at the meeting which lasted more than four hours, the Home Minister urged the political parties to show accommodation and good will and help the centre in finding a solution to the issue. With the political parties firm on their respective stand even before Tuesday's meeting, consensus on the vexed Telengana issue was not expected and that was very much evident in the meeting. What is more important at the present juncture was to cool down the tempers and restore normalcy in the state. And in that respect, all the eight parties despite their different stands both on the separate state of Telengana as well as on the need for more consultations, spoke in one voice on the need for maintenance of law and order in the state and even came out with a joint appeal for peacem and harmony in the state which has been witnessing agitation and strikes for almost a month now. Hopefully after the earnest appeal by all the political parties of Andhra Pradesh, good sense will prevail and normalcy will be restored soon.
