Chennai: DMK president M. Karunanidhi's son M.K. Alagiri, who has been suspended from the party, Tuesday refuted charges of violating the party code of conduct, and dramatically declared that he only wished his father's tears fall on his dead body.
"Not even in my dreams I thought such charges would be levied on me. I will stand by the party cadres. The cadres know me," Alagiri told reporters in Madurai, around 460 km from here.
Earlier in the day, Karunanidhi charged Alagiri with using unsavoury words against his younger brother M.K. Stalin.
The DMk chief told reporters that Alagiri was functioning in a manner not in line with the post he held in the DMK and giving interviews violating the party code of conduct.
Such actions led to the suspension of Alagiri from the party Jan 24, he said.
