Accusing the Jayalalithaa government of pursuing vendetta politics, DMK chief M Karunanidhi today criticised the arrest of two former Ministers, includingVeerapandi S Arumugam.    "Power will come and go. This will be decided once in five years in a democratic way. Those in power should not forget that they will have to go to the people. The ruling AIADMK is indulging in vendetta", he said in a statement on the arrest of the two former DMK ministers. The DMK leader said Arumugam was arrested in Chennai and taken to Salem. After the remand, he was again brought back here and lodged in a Chennai prison.  

"Arumugam is a heart patient and undergoing treatment. Why this vendetta politics. Is it not misuse of power"? he asked. Karunanidhi said he had tried to meet Arumugam yesterday but was told the meeting could be possible today.  

He along with his son M K Stalin and some other party leaders wanted to meet him today but Arumugam was taken from the jail early this morning. It was not known whether he was taken either to Salem or Vellore jail, he said.
