Taking strong exception to the statement of P. Nedumaran criticising the DMK’s ‘absence’ when the resolution calling for a referendum on a separate Tamil Eelam was passed in the TN Assembly, Kalaignar said that his Party MLAs had not staged a walkout but had been evicted.
In his epistle on March 31, Kalaignar regretted the absence of unity among Tamils for the discrimination adopted by the Centre in dealing with the issues of fishermen of Kerala and TN and referred to a news item in dailies on the day that P. Nedumaran questioned the DMK for walk out when the Tamil Eelam resolution was adopted in the Assembly and condemned it.
He said when the same Nedumaran was arrested under POTA during ADMK regime and lodged in Cuddalore prison with none to take care of him it was he who raised voice for him. “He is showing gratefulness for that now. Possibly he may have fear that he may be lodged in prison again in this regime. For that he may issue statements hailing everything done by these rulers. We are not bothered about it. But what is the need for him to unnecessarily attack us?”
He asked Nedumaran whether the DMK members staged a walkout when the Eelam resolution was brought or whether they were evicted or whether the House was already informed about the tabling of the resolution or was the members informed. No. What held was a debate on the agitation of students in TN for Eelam Tamils under rule no 55 special call attention motion. After many spoke, when the Chief Minister replied unnecessarily she leveled series of charges against him and the DMK. Generally while replying to special attention motion no allegations should be leveled against anybody. Still as he was blamed continuously, following the DMK members raising protest voice the Speaker evicted all DMK members. It was only after that, at the end of her reply Jayalalitha, without any prior notice, suddenly moved the resolution and it was passed.
This was reported in all dailies. But Nedumaran had asked why the DMK walked out and condemned it. Kalaignar advised him to engage a teacher and learn the difference between ‘evicted’ and ‘exited’. Nedumaran has said that by this walkout the DMK had betrayed the Eelam Tamils. “Such politicians in Tamil Nadu!! Fearing some danger from these rulers unnecessarily, they seek after them and hail. Let them do and survive. But thinking that only if they attack us they can survive there, they are blaming us. It is because of such trend of such people- because of such offensive attitude that Tamil fishermen are attacked, and live without protectors. But these persons act as if only they are interested on Eelam Tails and cheat people. I am only reminded of the song rendered by MGR in the film ‘Malaikkallan’ weitten by me “v¤jid¡ fhy«jh‹ Vkh‰Wth® Ϫj eh£ony?” (How long will they cheat in this country?)” Kalaignar said.
