Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday met a delegation of TRS leaders and appealed to them that the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh "should be peaceful".
"Nothing should be said or done that can inflame passions. I appeal to all that the bifurcation process should be peaceful," the prime minister told the delegation led by party chief K.C. Rao.
