Chennai, 6 August
Joining issue with his arch rival and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa over her criticism on the Food Security Bill, DMK president M Karunanidhi today indicated he had not made any explicit statement on the matter.
“Is there any iota of truth in Jayalalithaa’s statement that I had expressed support for the Food Security Bill? When did I issue such statements? Can Jayalalithaa point out such reports?” he asked in a statement.
He said the chief minister herself had admitted that his party had expressed its opposition to the Bill when it was tabled in the Lok Sabha and also cited reports in this regard.
She had said that party MP T K S Elangovan had said why should DMK oppose the ordinance when it is intended to benefit the poor and the general public
and alleged that this expo-sed Mr Karunanidhi’s true self.
“Have I spoken about the Food Security Bill after that or written about it? Did party MPs extend their support to the Bill,” he said in a statement.
Referring to Ms Jayalalithaa citing Mr Elangovan’s remarks, he asked if the MP was the sole representative of the DMK or if he was the Parliamentary Party Leader.
The DMK patriarch, however, pulled up his junior colleague, saying he did not accept the “unilateral” media interview given by Mr Elangovan and urged all partymen to maintain caution while speaking to them, or else such remarks could be used by someone to suit their needs.
He denied having betrayed the Tamil people by supporting the Bill, as alleged by the Chief Minister, and recalled he had spoken in support of the state DGP on the issue of te Special Protection Group denying him permission to receive Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Tiruchirappalli in the past week.
He was also opposed to the stake sale of NLC and asked if such stands amounted to supporting the Centre.
