Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to convene an all-party meeting on the Mekedatu dam issue.
Dr. Anbumani said such a meeting was required, in light of Karnataka’s ruling party politicians commenting that a dam would be constructed at Mekedatu and that land would be acquired for this.
The Karnataka Ministers were commenting on the Mekedatu dam issue for political reasons, although a dam cannot be constructed, as there is no such provision in the law, Dr. Anbumani told journalists at the Tiruchi airport. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister should accord importance to the Mekedatu dam issue and it would be good if he were to speak to his Karnataka counterpart during his proposed visit to Bengaluru for a political meeting, he added.
