AIADMK, DMK clash

NEW DELHI, AUG 2.The Lok Sabha today witnessed a clash between the AIADMK and DMK members on the Central Government order for transfer of three IPS officers posted in Tamil Nadu.

Mr. P. H. Pandian, AIADMK, contended during zero hour that such transfers could not be effected unilaterally without the consent of the State Government.

The former Prime Minister, Mr. Chandra Shekhar, said while no one could question the Centre's right to punish guilty IAS and IPS officers, it had no authority to transfer them without assigning reasons and without the consent of the State Government.

DMK and AIADMK members traded charges and counter-charges with the former getting the support of NDA members.

The BJP member Mr. V.K. Malhotra, said three officers were involved in the arrest of the former Chief Minister Mr. M. Karunanidhi, and the two Union Ministers, Mr. Murasoli Maran and Mr. T.R. Baalu, who had been manhandled.
