"No...There is no question of going back. There are many other things to be decided. This (Committee) is to implement the decision not to put the decision on hold," party spokesperson PC Chacko told reporters at the AICC briefing.
Earlier in the day, the party announced the setting up of the four-member committee.
"Congress President Sonia Gandhi has constituted a four- member committee to hear the concerns being expressed arising out of the decision to form a new state of Telangana," AICC general secretary Janardan Dwivedi said.
Besides Antony, Union minister M Veerappa Moily, a former in-charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh, current AICC in-charge Digvijay Singh and political secretary to Congress President Ahmed Patel are members of the panel.

Chacko said that there were indeed two opinions among party leaders and that Congress was also divided on the issue but added," we have to now implement the decision taken by the CWC, the highest decision making body of the party."
Asked what will be the next move if the Andhra Pradesh state assembly does not pass a unanimous resolution for creation of Telangana when it is not mandatory, Chacko said," naturally they should get the opportunity to discuss it and pass the resolution. This question comes only when they do not pass it.
