Karunanidhi warns supporters of banned organisations

M. Karunanidhi, the chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Thursday sent out a warning to the supporters of the LTTE, saying that the DMK government would not hesitate to take action against those who voice support and act in favour of banned organisations.

“The warning is applicable to all,” the Chief Minister said in a statement. Responding to a question whether the DMK was supporting the LTTE in the Sri Lankan Tamils issue, Mr. Karunanidhi said the objective of his party was to ensure the safety of the Tamils in Sri Lanka. “The DMK is not supporting those who support the banned organisations in India. The DMK government will not hesitate to take action against those who voice their support to such organisations,” he said.

The warning has come at a time Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi (VCK), an ally of the DMK, is making preparations for ‘Tamil Eelam Recognition Conference’ on Friday in Chennai. PMK founder S. Ramadoss is slated to speak at the conference.
