Seemandhra lawyers email President, PM against Andhra Pradesh bifurcation

RAJAHMUNDRY (AP): The Seemandhra Lawyers' Joint Action Committee (JAC) e-mailed the President, Prime Minister, Union Cabinet Ministers and the Chief Ministers of different states, explaining the disadvantages of bifurcating Andhra Pradesh.

"The e-mail contains 16 pages which detail problems of farmers, employees, students and backward class people," Seemandhra Lawyers' JAC Co-Convener Muppalla Subba Rao told reporters.

He said more than 650 emails have been sent to various political parties urging them to keep Andhra Pradesh "united".

A ' Chalo Assembly' agitation would be organised when the Telangana draft bill reaches the Assembly.

Over 35,000 lawyers from 13 Seemandhra districts continue to abstain from duties in protest against the Centre's decision to bifurcate the state.
