CHENNAI: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Pattali Makkal Katchi appeared to have patched up their differences with Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi asserting on Tuesday that the allies of the DMK will continue to stand by the Government. On its part, PMK president G.K. Mani said, "Let bygones be bygones." In a statement, he said: "PMK frontline leaders, office-bearers and MLAs should from now on forget this issue and concentrate on working for the party and the welfare of the people." Speaking after distributing free colour TV sets to the poor people in his Chepauk constituency, Mr. Karunanidhi said that no one could sever the relationship between the DMK and its allies. "No force on earth can topple the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Government in the State," he said. "This government will continue and serve the people," he said. Some people were thinking that they could dislodge the government through false propaganda. But they would not succeed.
PMK explanation
Mr. Mani said no one in his party should act or issue statements in a manner that would go against the coalition dharma even if their self-respect was questioned. Referring to the incident where a DMK platform speaker spoke ill of the PMK founder, Mr. Mani said that his party was happy that Mr. Karunanidhi had expressed regret over the matter. At the same time, he said Mr. Karunanidhi did not censure the platform speaker. Also, DMK general secretary K. Anbazhagan had issued a statement saying that the PMK founder had spoken with a "hidden meaning." Even in the statement expressing regret issued by the platform speaker, he did not directly say: "In the interview I had given... " Instead the sentence read: "In the interview that was attributed to me... " Mr. Anbazhagan would certainly not have missed the difference, Mr.Mani said. While the PMK was aware of these issues, it wanted to forget the past. In a statement issued on Monday night, Mr. Anbazhagan condemned the PMK founder for having said that Mr. Karunanidhi had cleared the interview given by the DMK platform speaker. He added that he was pained over the "cheap imagination" of Dr. Ramadoss and that the PMK founder was speaking with "hidden meaning."
