An all-party delegation from Kerala today met Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and sought his intervention to resolve the issue of Mullaperiyar Dam between the State and Tamil Nadu.
Senior Congress MP, Mr P. C. Chacko, said the Prime Minister advised the two sides not to take up any campaign to create differences and tension between the two States.
“Prime Minister advised us that such a campaign should not be taken up because there are large number of Malayalees in Tamil Nadu and Tamils in Kerala. Two neighbouring States...they should not create a situation where differences are being generated,” Mr Chacko told PTI.
He said the Kerala MPs informed Prime Minister that the people of the State were concerned about the safety of the 116-year-old dam and asked him to convene a meeting of Chief Ministers of Kerala and Tamil Nadu as early as possible to discuss the issue.
