PMK snaps ties with AIADMK

One person was killed in violence near AIADMK leader and former minister C V Shanmugams residence during Assembly elections in 2006. The police had named 22 persons,including Ramadoss,his son and former Union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss,his son-in-law Dr Parasuraman and several other family members.

Though the police subsequently let them off when the DMK came to power after elections,Shanmugam filed a plea in a local court seeking their inclusion. While the case was going on,the political equations in the state changed and the PMK shifted its allegiance to an AIADMK-led alliance in March,just before the general election.

Though PMK president G K Mani met AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa to request her intervention for conciliation,Shanmugam filed an appeal against lower court order that dismissed his plea to include Ramadoss and others among the accused.

The council has unanimously decided that after such a situation,there should not be any ties with the AIADMK even for a moment, said a statement issued from the PMK headquarters.
