<p> People of the State must wage a united struggle to establish the
rights of Tamil Nadu on the Cauvery issue and for the constitution of
the Cauvery Management Board, MDMK general secretary Vaiko said in
Thanjavur on Monday.</p><p>Participating in a human chain protest called
by Opposition parties against the delay in setting up the Cauvery
Management Board, Mr. Vaiko alleged that the Narendra Modi government at
the Centre diluted the final verdict of the Cauvery Water Disputes
Tribunal. </p><p>“When the CWDT verdict was equal to the Supreme Court
order, where did the necessity for the apex court to intervene again
arise?” Mr. Vaiko said adding that all Tamils must wage a united
struggle to achieve the aim of constituting the CMB.</p><p>It was
unfortunate that the State Government was a passive supporter to the
ulterior aims of the Centre that sought to forge a “one nation-one
language” policy.</p><p> “We will resist those attempts with full vigour,” the MDMK leader said.</p>
