Union ministers meet PM demanding 'justice' for Seemandhra

A section of Union ministers from Andhra Pradesh today met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convey concerns arising out of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and demanded justice for Seemandhra people.

"We met the Prime Minister seeking justice for Seemandhra region," Union Minister of State for Finance J D Seelam said.

"We explained the situation arising against the backdrop of carving out Telangana," he added.
