The chief minister demanded early release of funds for the Chennai Metro project as Rs 18,544 crore has already been spent so far.

The state government wants to start work on the second phase of the Chennai Metro and non-payment of pending dues has “caused a delay in the work”, he pointed out.

On the integrated education initiative, Stalin highlighted the delay in the first tranche of the 60:40 Centre-State funded programme.

He clarified that although Tamil Nadu has incorporated positive elements of the National Education Policy, it has not accepted the trilingual policy.

“We have sought a correction in the MoU to explicitly state that there will be no imposition of language,” the chief minister added.

While discussing the plight of Tamil fishermen facing arrest by the Sri Lankan Navy, Stalin sought Modi's personal intervention while stating that 191 fishing boats and 145 fishermen had been captured.

He sought a solution to the issue at the upcoming India-Sri Lanka Joint Committee meeting in Colombo next month.

After his meeting with Modi, Stalin said the prime minister had assured him that he would consider all three demands.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister later met Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, ahead of an opposition rally in Kancheepuram on September 28. He also met the family of CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury, who died recently.

Stalin arrived in the national capital on Thursday evening and received a warm welcome from DMK leaders, including MPs TR Baalu, Tiruchi Siva, Dayanidhi Maran, K Kanimozhi and T Sumathy, among others.
