No differences with my father Karunanidhi: Stalin

June 18, 2016 17:05

DMK treasurer and Opposition Leader in Tamil Nadu assembly M K Stalin today rejected reports of differences with his father and party chief M Karunanidhi, as he charged arch rival AIADMK with trying to create confusion among DMK workers.

Stalin also described as "indecent allegation", Finance Minister O Panneerselvam's claim that DMK's demand for proper facilities for wheelchair-bound Karunanidhi to attend Assembly proceedings was due to problems between him and Karunandhi.

"Panneerselvam has embarked on creating confusion in the party and the family by claiming that there are differences between the father and the son. This does not behold his Minister's post," Stalin said in a statement.

He, without elaborating, said Panneerselvam was not known to make such statements "but has been forced to do so".

"The contention by Panneerselvam and reports in some dailies supporting them (AIADMK) that there are differences between the father (Karunanidhi) and the son (Stalin) are completely false. The efforts by AIADMK to create confusion in DMK will not succeed," he said.
