AIADMK didnt pull Congress

ADMK didnt call congress for any alliance. Amma did a big U turn

Few weeks back, Jayalalitha the AIADMK's Amma openly called Congress for her alliance.
But last week, the AIADMK leader, in a statement, said she had only cautioned the Congress not to get into the quicksand along with the DMK, which was facing the wrath of the people for its anti-people activities. Considering the long - time friendship between the AIADMK and the Congress and with good intention, she had advised the Congress to come out of the DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa said, adding, ''I never invited the Congress to come back to the AIADMK alliance.''

Reason that can be : (Jayalalithaa Future plan)
As we know in the coming General Election 2009,  Congress and the BJP led NDA will have a tie in the centre, or none of them including the Third Front will not be able to come to power. And it is expected in TamilNadu, and ADMK alliance might get  20+ seats ie., 50% of 40 including pondy. If Jayalalitha is lucky - either PMK joins ADMK or DMDK(Vijayakanth) stays away from Congress/DMK then Jayalalitha's share in the 40 seats will increase to even 25 to 30.

In that case, she might use this to woo Congress as its life or death for them....

Azharuddin joins Congress

 

Spokesperson Veerappa Moily confirmed that former Indian cricket team captain, Azharudding is to join the Congress party. Moily said that he is joining the party unconditionally and it is not yet decided if he would contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls from Andhra Pradesh. Regarding the crickiter's troubles past(the life ban imposed by the BCCI), Moily said that there is no criminal record agains Azharuddin and whatever the matter is,its between the BCCI and him. He further justified Azhar's entry into congress by saying that Azhar served the Indian cricket team oustandingly for 9 years and that he has also filed a case against the ban imposed on him by BCCI. Trying to escape the situation on Sanjay Dutt's entry to samjawadi party, he said that he has no comments on that and Sanjay can join any party he wants to. According to earlier reports, Azhar is to meet congress chief Sonia Gandhi after which he might visit party headquarters and formally announce his entry to the party. Congress is likely to let Azhar play from his home ground Andhra. It is yet to see that how the former cricketer will fair in the new innings as a politician.

 Will Congress tie up with Jayalalitha (AIADMK) ??

Jayalalithaa is suggesting Congress (INC) to come out of the DMK alliance which indirectly means shaking hands with AIADMK.

In her statement Jayalalitha said :

“Take back your hand (off DMK),” Jayalalithaa extolled to the Congress, punning on the word ‘hand’, also the latter’s poll symbol. Emphasising that a huge anti-incumbency factor stared at the DMK, Jayalalithaa claimed that the people were waiting to “teach the DMK a fitting lesson” in the coming polls. Hence, if Congress wished to avoid that scenario, “it should at once sever ties with DMK,” she asserted.

Congress is still a side dish in TamilNadu. If PMK also join hands with AIADMK then Jayalalitha alliance might sweep the 40 seats. Or atleast 35+ including Pondy. The whole of SouthIndia is on fire for Congress. Hopefully DMK wont allow this to happen and people like P Chidambaram etc are just Anti-JJ Congressmen.

 

 

Bandh in TamilNadu for Srilankan Tamil Peace and Muthukumars death

Situation in and around chennai at 9am IST

After Muthukumar 's death,  The Sri Lankan Tamils Protection Movement, an umbrella organisation consisting of parties like the PMK, CPI and the MDMK called for a bandh across Tamil Nadu today.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday had refused to stay the bandh saying the parties have a right to express their feelings. Meanwhile, the ruling party in the state has opposed the bandh terming it against law.

We cant say normal life in Tamil Nadu has come to a standstill. Lot of people through public transport are moving and the private companies functions normally. Incidentally, it also happens to be the day Sri Lanka celebrates its 61st independence day.

Death Statement / Letter of Tamil journalist Muthukumar, who committed suicide

Tamil Nadu journalist burns himself to death

Reason being India not supporting Srilankan Tamils (Eelam Issue).

Muthukumar 's act shows : உடல் மண்ணுக்கு, உயிர் தமிழுக்கு மட்டும் இல்லை தமிழனுக்கும் தான்

விதியே விதியே என்செய் நினைத்திட்டாய் என் தமிழ் சாதியை...
அன்பார்ந்த உழைக்கும் தமிழ்மக்களே...

வணக்கம். வேலைக்குப் போகும் அவசரத்திலிருக்கும் உங்களை இப்படி சந்திக்க நேர்ந்ததற்கு நான் வருந்துகிறேன். ஆனால் வேறு வழியில்லை. என் பெயர் முத்துக்குமார். பத்திரிகையாளர் மற்றும் உதவி இயக்குநர். தற்சமயம் சென்னையில் உள்ள பத்திரிகை ஒன்றில் வேலை செய்து வருகிறேன்.

உங்களைப்போல் தான் நானும். தினமும் செய்தித்தாளையும், இணையத்தையும் பார்த்து பார்த்து, தினம் தினம் கொல்லப்பட்டு வரும் எம் சக தமிழர்களைக் கண்டு சாப்பிட முடியாமல், தூங்க முடியாமல், யோசிக்க முடியாமல் தவிக்கும் எத்தனையோ பேரில் ஒரு சாமானியன். வந்தாரை வாழ வைக்கும் செந்தமிழ் நாட்டில் சேட்டு என்றும், சேட்டனென்றும் வந்தவனெல்லாம் வாழ, சொந்த ரத்தம் ஈழத்தில் சாகிறது.


 

Tamil Nadu journalist burns himself to death

Reason being India not supporting Srilankan Tamils

A young Tamil activist burnt himself to death in front of the Shastri Bhavan, the Indian Central Government's Chennai Head office Thursday, reports from Chennai said. The activist, Mr. Muthukumar, from Thooththukkudi, who works for Pe'n'nea Nee feminist magazine as typist and also writes articles, doused himself with petrol and set himself afire, condemning the futile visit by Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who failed to stop the war in Sri Lanka and save Eezham Tamils.

Muthukumar 's act shows : உடல் மண்ணுக்கு, உயிர் தமிழுக்கு மட்டும் இல்லை தமிழனுக்கும் தான்.
No more Muthu Kumar please....

With 95% burn injuries, Muthukumar was rushed to the Kilpauk Medical College in a critical condition, with slim chances of survival. He succumbed within a short span of time, according to medical sources.

Tension prevails in the capital city of Chennai following the news of the young Tamil activist burning himself to death in front of Shastri Bhavan office.
