On the Cauvery issue, DMK leader M.K. Stalin has written a letter to Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, urging that the Tamil Nadu government immediately convene an all-party meeting and that it should no longer remain silent.
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has said, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, that no one can stop the construction of the Mekedatu dam.
DMK leader M.K. Stalin has said that, on the Cauvery issue, which is a matter of life and death for Tamil Nadu, he has written to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, urging the state government to do what is necessary without remaining silent any longer.
In the letter written by M.K. Stalin, I had emphasized that, while all the parties in Karnataka are speaking with one voice on the Cauvery issue, it is essential for the parties in Tamil Nadu too to demonstrate our unity in order to protect our farmers, and I had also stated that an all-party meeting should be convened immediately to discuss our next course of action.
When the resolution was passed to refer the issue of building the Mekedatu dam to an arbitration tribunal, the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, on behalf of the main opposition party, the DMK, insisted in the Assembly itself that an all-party meeting should be convened, and also said that the resolution passed at the all-party meeting would be submitted to the Prime Minister through MLAs and MPs.
In the current situation, where the Karnataka Chief Minister has once again begun speaking seriously about building the Mekedatu dam, the Tamil Nadu government should no longer remain silent. Therefore, I request through this letter that an all-party meeting be convened to express our unity and our opposition to the Karnataka Chief Minister’s remarks.
Furthermore, arrangements should be made for the leaders of legislative parties in Tamil Nadu and all-party Members of Parliament to jointly meet Prime Minister Modi in person and submit the resolutions passed at the all-party meeting, as well as the special government resolution unanimously passed in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in June against the Mekedatu dam. He has emphasized that, with regard to the Cauvery rights issue, it is essential for us to stand united, transcending personal likes and dislikes as well as party differences.
The Karnataka Chief Minister has said in the presence of the Prime Minister that no one can stop the construction of the Mekedatu dam. In the Cauvery issue, which is a matter of life and death for Tamil Nadu, here is the letter I have written to the Honorable @CMOTamilnadu, urging the Tamil Nadu government to take the necessary steps without remaining silent any longer: #Cauvery #Mekedatu #DeltaFarmers
