In a stern warning to PMK, whose party leader S Ramadoss' recent arrest triggered violence, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today likened it to a "terrorist" organisation and said any political party that harmed law and order and public peace would be banned.        

Slamming PMK for the violence, she told the state assembly that steps would be taken to claim damages from it for the losses caused to public and private property, which she said, were running into several hundred crores of rupees. PMK workers had damaged 850 vehicles, including government buses, she said.
