I wish my father's tears fall on my body, says Alagiri while refuting Karunanidhi's charges

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

Karunanidhi, referring to his meeting with Alagiri in his bedroom that day, wondered if it was a proper venue and time to discuss party matters.

Reacting to the statement, Alagiri said that complaints from party cadres faxed to the party headquarters were not shown to the leadership, and hence he decided to discuss it at Karunanidhi's home.

Even earlier, party matters have been discussed at Karunanidhi's home, Alagiri said.

He said he would take the charges made by Karunanidhi as a birthday present and the suspension as the prize for fighting for justice for party cadres.

He said Karunanidhi should live longer than him so that his tears would fall on his (Alagiri's) body.
