DMK leader M. K. Stalin has requested Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay to call an all‑party meeting to address the long‑standing Cauvery water dispute.
M. K. Stalin, the chief of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has formally asked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay to convene an all‑party meeting to discuss the Cauvery water dispute.
The request comes amid ongoing tensions between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka over water sharing from the Cauvery River. By calling a meeting that includes representatives from all political parties, Stalin aims to seek a broader consensus on the issue.
The DMK has previously highlighted the need for a fair and transparent resolution that protects the interests of farmers and communities in both states. The meeting, if held, could pave the way for renewed negotiations and a potential settlement.
No official response from the Tamil Nadu government has been released yet, but the call is expected to prompt a swift reply from Chief Minister Vijay.
