(November 27, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The all-party meeting on Lankan issue chaired by Chief Minister and DMK president M Karunanidhi on Tuesday has perhaps given a shape for fresh alliances in Tamilnadu to face the forthcoming Parliamentary polls.
As expected, the PMK chief Dr S Ramadoss, who was recently met by DMK leader and Union Minister T R Baalu ‘to woo him back to the alliance again’ took part in the meet along with party president G K Mani.
The CPI which had ‘started alliance talks with the AIADMK’ and the CPI-M which is expected to follow the suit have stayed away from the meeting.
And the ever-oscillating DMDK too is no exception.
Meanwhile, CPI-M State secretary N Varadharajan in a statement on Tuesday evening raised doubts about the bonafides of the all-party meeting convened by the Chief Minister.
‘The meeting, instead of paving way for raising the Lankan Tamils issue in unified voice, gave rise to doubts that whether it was an effort to give shape to a new political alliance.
As such, the CPI-M did not participate in the meeting’, he said.
Interestingly, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on the same day told reporters that his party had not shown the exit door to the PMK from the alliance and added that there was no rift between the DMK and the PMK.
‘We had never sent anyone out of the alliance.
We just expressed our agony to the PMK,’ he said.
On Monday, Karunanidhi had expressed his displeasure at the CPI for shaking hands with the AIADMK for alliance.
He described the meeting between CPI leader AB Bardhan and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa as the one done in haste.
Hitting out at CPI leader D Pandian on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said it was the Communist leader who had spread the ‘false news’ that refugees from the Lanka were being sent out from the special camps. - Sri Lanka Guardian
