‘DMK will raise voice in Assembly to establish the rights of Muslims’

DMK Treasurer and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Thalapathi M.K. Stalin on Jun 18 said that the DMK would raise its voice in the Assembly for establishing the rights and demands of Muslim community.
Participating in an Iftar party organised by the Tamil Maanila Desiya League in Chennai, Stalin said that he had been participating in this Iftar party for the past nine years. He said there were several instances to show how the Muslim community had stood with the DMK whether it was in power or not.
Stalin said, “Those who have emerged victorious in the recent Assembly elections are not very happy. (But the) DMK, which has not been able to form the government, is not exhausted. Even in the defeat the party faced in the Assembly election it had created history by managing to win as many as 89 seats. In 1971 the party won in 184 seats an unprecedented feat. We are proud of our performance.” This was the ninth year he was participating in an Iftar party thrown by the TMDL, he said. The minorities had supported his party while in power as well as Opposition, he said.
TMDL general secretary Tirupur Altaf, former Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran, former Ministers A Rahmankhan and TPM Maideen Khan MLA, Chennai East district DMK secretary P K Sekarbabu MLA, IUML MLA KAM Mohamed Abubacker and others also participated.
