Arrest warrant for Karuna?



(October 24, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Opposition AIADMK today staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha demanding arrest of Tamilnadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi over his alleged support to the separatist LTTE in Sri Lanka.

As soon as the House met for the day, AIADMK members were on their feet wanting to raise the issue of Karunanidhi’s alleged support to LTTE.

Chairman Hamid Ansari, however, disallowed their move and said that the Question Hour should be taken up. AIADMK members raised slogans demanding dismissal of the Tamilnadu Government and arrest of Karunanidhi.

‘This is Question Hour. Please resume your places. Please allow the House to proceed,’ Ansari said as DMK members countered AIADMK’s slogan-shouting. With Ansari disallowing their move, AIADMK members staged a walkout from the House.
