TRS MP Kavitha alleged that Centre is being ‘insensitive’ by not bifurcating HC following division of Andhra Pradesh.

Hyderabad

: The Centre on Tuesday said it has no role in creation of a new High Court for Telangana and cautioned the state government that blaming the Narendra Modi government on the issue was "unacceptable and intolerable".

"Creation of new High Court for Telangana is not in our hands, it’s in the hands of Chief Minister and Chief Justice of that High Court (which is common for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and has not been bifurcated after the erstwhile state's division in June 2014)," Law Minister D V Sadandanda Gowda said.

"If the Chief Minister provides the infrastructure and other things, High Court will take care of rest of the things. Simply putting the blame on Centre is not fair. It’s quite unacceptable and intolerable to say that this delay is because of the Central government," Gowda said over phone when contacted.

Earlier in the day, TRS MP K Kavitha alleged that the Centre was being "insensitive" by not bifurcating the High Court following division of Andhra Pradesh and said her father and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao even proposed to hold a protest in Delhi.

Replaying on the same, Gowda said, "If he holds a dharna for no reason, people will evaluate the dharna."

"Judiciary is independent. We give maximum respect to Judiciary. Their independence cannot be encroached upon by the Executive at any point of time," he said.
