JAC leaders, including TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, who held a meeting in Hyderabad, have decided to continue their talks today.

The TRS president had earlier threatened to intensify the agitation from mid-January.

During September and October last year, the pro-Telangana employees of Andhra Pradesh government struck work for about 40 days in support of various demands, including separate Telangana.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, JAC convener M Kodandaram demanded that the police cases filed against students during the separate statehood agitation be withdrawn immediately.
