Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin today met Finance Minister O. Panneerselvam at the Secretariat here to discuss Cauvery row and other issues revolving around it.

Stalin, who met the Finance Minister, presented to him copy of three resolutions passed at a meeting yesterday with various farmers associations owing allegiance to the Congress, CPI and CPI(M).

“We want the Government to convene a special session of the Assembly and before that the Government should convene an all-party meeting to discuss the issue,” he told media persons later.
