Chennai: Tamilnadu Chief Minister and DMK president M K Stalin has said that federalism was being ‘destroyed’ in the country due to the ‘scant respect’ BJP had for states’ rights.
Stalin, who attended a meeting of opposition parties virtually chaired by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, called for opposition unity to take on the BJP.
In a tweet after the meet, Stalin said, ‘Federalism is being destroyed due to the scant respect BJP has for states’ rights and it is imperative that the opposition stands united at this hour. The recent Parliament session has witnessed our unity.’
He also uploaded on his Twitter page, the joint statement of the opposition leaders, where they announced organising protests across the country from 20 to 30 September.
The Opposition leaders also put out a 11-point charter of demands before the Centre, which was also shared by Stalin on his Twitter handle.
