Puthiya Tamizhagam meet to decide on symbol


Puthiya Tamizhagam (PT) leader K. Krishnasamy on Wednesday said that a meeting of district office-bearers on February 19 would decide whether the party should contest on its own symbol or the two leaves symbol of the AIADMK.

Talking to reporters, he said the meeting would also finalise candidates and constituencies the party would contest in the Assembly elections.

Expressing happiness over allocation of two seats, he said it was the first step towards the victory of the AIADMK in the elections.

Dr. Krishnasamy termed “ridiculous,” the picketing organised by DMK leaders, including MP Kanimozhi, against the ‘detention' of Tamil Nadu fishermen by their Sri Lankan counterparts, wondering who the DMK was targeting when the party was part of the UPA government at the Centre.

“If the DMK has self-respect, it should quit the Central government and fight the failure of the Centre in protecting the interests of fishermen.”
