The DMK has decided to convene an "all-party meeting" on the Cauvery issue in which actor Kamal Haasan, who will launch his party this week, has agreed to attend, party working president M K Stalin has said.
The DMK took the decision as the AIADMK government was not paying heed to its demand of holding an all-party meeting in the wake of the Supreme Court reducing the quantum of water from Cauvery river to the state, he told reporters here on Sunday night.
"As an opposition party, we have decided to convene an all-party meeting and will invite the AIADMK which is the ruling party... we will also invite the BJP," Stalin said, without mentioning the date of the proposed meeting.

To a query on actors Haasan and Rajinikanth's political foray, the DMK working president said anyone can enter politics.

The DMK has accused the state government of inept handling of the case in the apex court.
