<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>
