AIADMK chief Jayalalitha on described as
"drama" the Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's
call asking the State MPs to quit if the
Centre did not intervene within a fortnight
into the Sri Lankan army's ongoing offensive
in the Tamil speaking areas of that country,
Indian media reported.
The resolution, adopted in the all party
meeting convened by Karunanidhi, was only a
"drama enacted by him", Jayalalithaa said in
a statement in Chennai.
She said instead of asking the MPs to
quit, the DMK should have asked his
ministers in the Union Ministry to resign
and announced withdrawal of support to
Manmohan Singh government "which would have
been more effective."
The leader of Opposition in the State
assembly said if one went through the
resolution, it looked like Karunanidhi was
supporting the LTTE.
"Indian government does not have powers
to stop the civil war in Sri Lanka. If we
interfere in the internal affairs of Sri
Lanka, it will open the floodgates for other
countries to interfere in Indian affairs,
which will endanger the sovereignty of the
country. I am surprised that even this basic
fact is not known for a person, who had been
the Chief Minister for five terms", she
said.
The AIADMK had boycotted the meeting
convened by Karunanidhi on Tuesday.
