Demonstrators burn a poster bearing images of Chief Minister of India\'s Tamil Nadu state J. Jayalalithaa (L) and M. Karunanidhi, leader of India\'s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, during a protest in Colombo April 2, 2013. The protesters were demonstrating against the two Indian political leaders, over two separate attacks last month on Sri Lankan Buddhist monks in Chennai, located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, according to the demonstrators. Karunanidhi previously served as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Employees of the state-run Sri Lanka Ports Authority also held the protest on Tuesday against Indian imports after India voted last month in favour of a United Nations (U.N.) resolution to carry out credible investigations into the killings and disappearances during its nearly 30-year civil war, especially in the brutal final stages in 2009.
DMK leader MK Alagiri has denied reports that he skipped a crucial DMK executive meeting because he was angry that the DMK decision to pull out of the UPA had been made without consulting him. Alagiri told media that there was no rift in the party, and he had only skipped the meet because he was unwell. He did not however, explain how he felt well enough to travel to Madurai instead of attending the meet in Chennai.
M. Karunanidhi, chief of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, wipes his face as his son MK Stalin looks at a paper as they attend their party\'s executive meeting in the southern Indian city of Chennai March 25, 2013. DMK, a key regional ally, pulled out of India\'s ruling coalition last week.
DMK chief M Karunanidhi\'s son MK Stalin termed theCentral Bureau of Investigation raids in his house a \'political vendetta\'. Stalin\'s house was searched by the CBI in Chennai this morning in connection with the alleged illegal import of cars. The raids came just two days after Stalin\'s party, the DMK, pulled out of the ruling coalition at the Centre over what the DMK alleged was the government\'s unwillingness to take a strong stand against Sri Lanka at the UN\'s top human rights body in Geneva. You see for yourself. The raids took place just two days after we quit the UPA, Stalin told reporters outside his house. We will face the case legally. I am unaware of the reasons for the CBI raid, he added.
New Delhi: All five DMK ministers in the UPA government on Wednesday submitted their resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. All five of us have given our resignations to the prime minister, one of the ministers said.
New Delhi: DMK member Vasanthi Stanley on Wednesday fainted in Rajya Sabha while raising the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, leading to a chaotic situation in the House. Stanley was shouting full-throated slogans in the Well during Zero Hour seeking justice to Tamils in Sri Lanka as her colleagues as well members from arch rival AIADMK waved photographs of slain LTTE chief Prabhakaran\'s son killed by Sri Lankan forces.
