A day after formally withdrawing support to the Congress-led UPA government, the DMK ministers will submit their resignations to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh today.

A five-member DMK delegation headed by T R Baalu handed over a letter by party supremo M Karunanidhi to President Pranab Mukherjee last night at 10.30 p.m at Rashtrapati Bhavan withdrawing support of its 18 Lok Sabha MPs to the UPA government.

Baalu told media that DMK ministers will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday to submit their resignations. On replying to a question about DMK's support to UPA government from outside, Baalu said the decision lies with party Supremo Karunanidhi.

The DMK had pulled out of the UPA Government over the issue of alleged human rights violations of Sri Lankan Tamils.
