Why prioritise DPI opposition, asks PT

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, AUG. 9. The Puthiya Tamizhagam president, Dr. K. Krishnasamy, today said the PMK was portrayed as an anti-Dalit party because it prioritised opposition to the Dalit Panthers of India.

Reacting to the statement by the PMK founder, Dr. S. Ramadoss, that he was not anti-Dalit, the PT leader said the PMK should not associate with those identified as anti-Dalit.

Denying that he had attacked Dr. Ramadoss personally for switching alliances, Mr. Krishnasamy said he had only made a suggestion that such switchover would set a wrong precedent.
