By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, SEPT. 26. The Chief Minister, Mr. O. Paneerselvam, today defended his Cabinet colleagues who participated in the recent controversial AIADMK demonstrations and said they were not involved in the burning of effigies of any leader.

With the State Ministers coming under fire for the demonstrations in which Prime Minister's effigies were burnt, Mr. Paneerselvam told the media here that the protest was only directed at the DMK.

The DMK president, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, had demanded the ouster of Ms. Jayalalithaa from chief ministership, even as the case challenging her appointment was pending before the Supreme Court.
