Former Union Minister and DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran on Thursday accused PMK leaders of disrupting communal harmony and instigating violence in Tamil Nadu.
“Such a mischievous campaign by the PMK leadership and violence by a few vested interests could not undermine the 20% reservation given to the MBCs and the benefits in education and employment they achieved,” he said in a statement.
Responding to the legal notice sent by the PMK, Mr. Maran said the defamation suit was a last desperate attempt for publicity and to try and intimidate him by the PMK since its campaign against him on social media failed. PMK cadre had taken objection to certain statements Mr. Maran had made on their party while meeting reporters in Salem.

CHENNAI: Former Union Minister MK Alagiri, the elder son of late DMK supremo M Karunanidhi, on Thursday said there is little chance for him to get a re-entry into DMK and he will discuss with his supporters on January 3 to decide his further course of action.
It appears that the expelled leader has realised that his demand to be taken back into the party has been rejected categorically. DMK sources said giving space for Alagiri in DMK at the time of polls would lead to confusions in the party at a time when the party president MK Stalin, also Alagiri s younger brother, has near total control over the party.
