DMK seeks stern action against AIADMK men

Special Correspondent

Police remained mute spectators: party resolution

Puducherry: An emergency meeting of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) held here on Thursday called upon the Government to take stern action against volunteers of the AIADMK for burning an effigy of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. A release from its convener here R. V. Janakiraman said that the meeting condemned through a resolution the burning of the effigy. The resolution also asked the Government to book under non-bailable sections all those who indulged in the offence.

The resolution also wanted to know how police, who were on the spot, remained mute spectators and sought an explanation.

Mr. Janakiraman requested the Chief Minister N. Rangasamy to ensure that the agitators did not escape the clutches of law.

He said that the AIADMK volunteers had in the recent past burnt an effigy of Union Minister E.V.K.S. Ilangovan outside a hotel at Saram during his visit to Puducherry. Then the Government had booked cases only for records, and did not take follow up action.

The same attitude should not be seen in the present case and the DMK would also not remain quiet.
