DMK chief should ‘break his silence’ Sri Lankan issue
PMK today asked DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to ‘break his silence’ on Sri Lankan Tamil issue and take lead in solving the ethnic crisis in the island nation, according to a report by Press Trust of India News (PTI) Agency.
PTI report further said:
Replying to a specific question on the suggestion of senior politician P Nedumaran that PMK, MDMK and Left Parties, with some common agenda, particularly on Sri Lanka, could form a third front, Ramadoss told reporters that this could apply to assembly polls, but not for Lok Sabha polls.
As far as Sri Lankan issue was concerned, Karunanidhi, who was a strong supporter of Tamil Eelam, should break his long silence and come out with a clear policy on Tamils issue.
Reminding Karunanidhi that he, in 1985 had given a pledge to thousand of Youths here that they would fight for a Tamil Eelam and sacrifice their lives to achieve it, Ramadoss asked why the Chief Minister was silent now.
Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) participated in the National Democratic Alliance until December 2003, and was part of the Indian central government from 1999-2003. In 2004, PMK joined the United Progressive Alliance.
