"Suggestions and recommendations were solicited regarding their expectations and viewpoints. Measures are being undertaken to identify the first-generation activists of the movement," Keshava Rao said. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said the committee has invited representatives from all political parties, with two members from each party. He stated that in addition to political parties, consultations will also be held with employees, students, journalists, and lawyers. He made it clear that justice will be ensured for all those who suffered injuries or sustained losses across various sectors.

The Minister stated that the committee's office will be inaugurated at the Martyrs' Memorial Stupam soon.
