Karunanidhi offers to donate film earnings

By Our Tamil Nadu Bureau

CHENNAI, DEC. 30. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president, M. Karunanidhi, today offered to donate to the tsunami relief fund his earnings from writing the story and dialogue for two forthcoming films `Kannamma' and `Mannin Maindan. In a statement here, Mr. Karunanidhi said that as one who had been associated with the film industry for over five decades he wanted the donation included in the collections being made by film personalities for the Chief Minister's Relief Fund.

The DMK chief, who is undergoing treatment in a private hospital here, appealed to party volunteers to engage themselves in relief operations in the affected areas.

CPI gesture

On Wednesday, the Communist Party of India State secretary, R. Nallakannu, said his party MPs and MLAs would contribute one-month's salary for the rehabilitation. He visited the affected areas in Cuddalore. The CPI leader suggested formation of "village committees" to coordinate relief measures and distribute assistance. As what happened was a national calamity, both the Central and State Governments must increase the financial allocation and expedite the relief works.
