DMK Treasurer and Opposition leader in the Tamil Nadu assembly M K Stalin has convened an all-party meeting in Chennai on October 25 to discuss the Cauvery issue.

The Dravidian party's allies, the Congress and the IUML, confirmed their participation for the Tuesday meeting, even as BJP had already ruled out its presence if DMK held such a meeting.

Stalin said that the October 25 meeting was being held following pleas from various quarters, including Cauvery delta farmers and public to "exert serial pressure" on the Cauvery issue.

"The meeting has been convened (under him) as Opposition Leader at (DMK headquarters) Anna Arivalayam on October 25 at 10.30 am," Stalin said his letter to different parties.
