DMK chief M. Stalin has urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E. Vijay to convene an all-party meeting to address the ongoing Cauvery water dispute. In a post on X, Stalin emphasized that a legal battle is the only way to resolve the issue, as the state has consistently denied Tamil Nadu its rightful share of water from the Cauvery River. The dispute, which has been a long-standing point of contention between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, has seen renewed tensions in recent months.
The call for an all-party meeting comes amid growing concerns over water allocation and the impact on agriculture and livelihoods in the region. Tamil Nadu has been advocating for its share of the river’s flow, citing historical rights and legal precedents. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has been closely monitoring the dispute, with previous rulings favoring Tamil Nadu.
In a separate development, the Supreme Court has stayed the FIR against DMK leader Senthil Balaji in the TASMAC scam case. The court issued a notice to the Tamil Nadu government on his plea challenging the refusal of anticipatory bail by the Madras High Court. This legal action highlights the ongoing scrutiny of political figures in corruption cases. (thehindubusinessline.com)
