Jaya remarks aimed at damaging concern of people

CHENNAI: Condemning AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa for her remarks that the resolutions passed at the October 14 all-party meet party meet seemed as if he was extending support to the LTTE, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi said such remarks were only aimed at damaging the concern of the people here for their brethren in Sri Lanka.
   
Writing in the DMK's mouthpiece 'Murasoli,' he said he was surprised to note that MDMK chief Vaiko,who has been 'shedding tears for Sri Lankan Tamils", had not expressed any opinion on his ally Jayalalithaa's remarks.
   
Vaiko had not gone in for a war of words with Jayalalithaa as he wanted to fully concentrate on pressing the Centre to take steps to stop the Sri Lankan army offensive in the northern parts of the island nation, he said.
   
Referring to the human chain protest here on October 21 to remind the Centre of the resolutions passed at the all party meet, he said it was only an effort to press the Centre to take action. "people should participate in the rally in large numbers to express solidarity with the resolutions adopted at the all party meeting, he added.
