Bangalore, Dec 27 (UNI) Janata Dal (Secular) rebel leader and former Karnataka Home Minister M P Prakash today said he would decide his next poitical move only after January 14.

Talking to newspersons after a meeting with his supporters here, he said it was decided to announce the decision on joining any political party only after two weeks.

''We are not in a hurry and there is no pressure on us to take the decision now itself,'' he added.

Stating that they would join a party committed to its principles and promoted people-oriented rule in the State, he said he had held talks with leaders of various parties in this connection. However, a decision to join any party would be taken only after January 14, he added.

To a question on joining the Congress in the context of a controversy over discriminatory treatment between original members and migrants to the party, he said there was no pure political party as such changes take place all the time in all parties.
