The AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Tuesday said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin must convene an all-party meeting to discuss the Mekedatu project controversy and have a motion adopted in the Assembly against the stand of the Karnataka government on the issue.
In a statement, he said the stand of Tamil Nadu had been that the project execution should not be allowed under any circumstance and there was “no question” of negotiations on the issue.
Mr. Panneerselvam referred to reported observations of Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat that the Centre was willing to facilitate talks between the two States on the issue.
