Chennai: Expressing strong objections to the Plan of the Union Government to hold a meeting with the Cauvery Riparian Countries to discuss the Mekedatu Karnataka project, PMK, NDA allies, on Wednesday said the center must maintain the interests of two states and not force for talks.
In a statement, the founder of S Ramadoss revealed in surprise at the statement of Union Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Bengaluru that the center would hold a meeting, even when the head of Minister Nadu Tamil M St Stalin rejected his carnataka partner request for bilateral talks.
“The Union Government must apply court orders and the Supreme Court, in addition to 1892 agreements between countries.
I urge the center not to indulge in any activity to support Karnataka, influence the interests of Tamil Nadu,” said the leader.
Given the Chairman of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa statement after meeting with Shekhawat that the UNI Minister has convinced all the permits needed for the project, PMK leader said that doubts arose whether the trade union government in the sake of Karnataka.
“Where the need for talks between countries when the Agreement between countries clearly states the State of Riparian, must be approved by lower edge countries for every development in the Inter-country river? The Union Government also stated the same thing on several occasions And the former Union Minister S uma Bharti confirmed the same thing with the leader of PMK Anbumani Ramadoss in 2015, “Ramadoss said.
Ramadoss said the government of Karnataka has built four dams across Cauvery and its tributaries, simultaneously held bilateral talks with Tamil Nadu while the government led by the Congress at the center remained a mute audience and failed to prevent construction.
PMK has opposed talk only to avoid such betrayal.
“The case of Mekedatu is waiting at the Supreme Court.
The legal status of the date is that the Mekedatu Dam cannot be built without Tamil Nadu’s approval,” PMK leader said.
