RESOLUTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 22-06-2012

 

The resolution adopted at the meeting of the DMK Executive Committee chaired by DMK President Kalaignar M.Karunanidhi on 22-06-2012 at Anna Arivalayam in Chennai :-

Indian democracy is not One-Party Democracy, but Multi-Party Democracy. Multi-party Democracy itself implies that there is place for different policies, principles, different views and programmes. The party which secures majority numbers in an election contested by many parties, gets the opportunity to rule for five years. In the over 60 years of Indian constitutional history, no single party had been ruling continuously in any State or Centre. Ruling opportunity comes to parties alternatively. It is because of this that Indian democracy, the largest in the world remains lively. Hence the party getting the opportunity to rule should respect democratic ethos by considering opposition parties not as inimical parties but as alternative parties. Instead, indulging in negative actions imaging that the rule is perennial for them and vouch to destroy the other parties is akin to severing the organs of democracy. As far as Tamil Nadu is concerned, the pubic of Tamil Nadu have realized that ever since the ADMK assumed power, only actions totally opposed to democracy are being executed as fulltime programme.

The ruling party ADMK, bearing in their party name to name of Arignar Anna, who said ‘Forget and forgive; Don’t sharpen knife; sharper intellect – the much twined rope will snap’ and advised affection, peace, patience, humility and sense of responsibility in politics;

forgetting the history that the DMK is the great people’s movement which was founded by Arignar Anna – remained as ruling party in Tamil Nadu for 21 years – accomplished innumerable historic achievements under the leadership of Kalaignar and had had ADMK’s founder Makkal Thilagam MGR as its Treasurer once; and least considering from which root they sprouted and flourished;

with unchanging enmity and unending animosity for DMK and its President Kalaignar, invoking cruel oppressive measures with the help of police by foisting false cases without any basis against the frontline functionaries and activists of the DMK and arresting them – lodging in prisons – causing distress – Goondas Act – raids on houses – excesses against women of families; in their fond hope of destroying DMK by curbing the urge and zeal of DMK cadre thereby curtail and suppress party activities, resort to cruel acts of staging anti-democratic and illegal incidents, which the DMK Executive Committee severely condemns.

The people of Tamil Nadu have started realizing that the ADMK government continues to resort to ‘publicity mela’, ‘video conferencing magics’, ‘DMK activists’ arrests – Goondas Act’, ‘barbaric and strangulating legal actions’ unaccepted and admonished by courts are only diverting tacts; from the crisis severely affecting the lives of all sections of people like Kuruvai cultivation turning into dream in Cauvery delta region; prolonging river water issues unresolved due to the unhealthy attitude of neighbouring states of Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh; rise in prices of rice, groceries and vegetables; hikes in bus fares, milk and unprecedented hike in non-available electricity; irregularities of corruption raj prancing in all fronts from teachers transfers to building approvals – bribery culture; the disgusting implementation of the announcements made during General elections; court strictures and administrative problems, growing in numbers and dimensions everyday strangulating and disrupting Tamil Nadu.

The Executive Committee besides pointing out that even while acting in the name of action against land grabbing, by pointing out land grab frauds that took place during the years 2006-11, they try to cover up the offences committed prior to 2006 as they were during their ruling period, this Executive Committee severely condemns their conduct of not taking action against wrongs of ADMK men even in these years of 2006-11 and to the extent of court itself directing the police to file charge sheet against ADMK legislator Tiruchi Paranjothi by fixing a date, and taking oppressive actions like invoking Goondas Act against Ministers of DMK, District DMK Secretaries and DMK frontliners by foisting imaginary charges.

Particularly heart flustering is, filing false and dubious cases against Salem District DMK Secretary and former Minister Veerapandi Arumugam, who passed through the atrocities of Emergency period with smiling face and hailed by Kalaignar as ‘Lion of Salem’’, and repeatedly dragging him between Salem, Vellore and Puzhal prisons, without any compassion for his age of 75 years and a heart patient, accusing him with unfounded charges and causing shame by lodging him under Goondas Act; foisting false charges against Dindigul District DMK Secretary and former Minister I.Periyasamy and lodging him in prison. Moreover, the Executive Committee severely condemns the Jayalalitha regime taking oppressive actions like Goondas Act against former Ministers, district DMK Secretaries, and frontline functionaries ignoring judicial orders and stamping the seal that it is a cruel minded regime by arresting Madurai City District DMK Secretary Thalapathi in a case and the minute he came out on bail arresting him again and lodging in prison; and this vindictive attitude of arresting, jailing and invoking Goondas Act reminding the regime of King Czar.

This Executive Committee, besides pointing out that the time has come for the ever undaunted cadre of the DMK to rally together and plunge into peaceful agitation to condemn all these, establish justice and achieve victory against injustice,

and this Executive Committee besides resolving to conduct ‘Jail Bharo’ agitation from the morning of July 4;

This Executive Committee decides to organize public meetings to explain this agitation in all district headquarters, taluks and cities, as a prelude (The Party headquarters will soon announce the details of the places of public meetings and participants in them)
