Karunanidhi welcomes PM's statement

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI April 12. The DMK president, M.Karunanidhi, has welcomed the Prime Minister, A.B.Vajpayee's statement that India would consider providing treatment for the LTTE ideologue, Anton Balasingham.

Asked about his party's stand on the State Government move to introduce a resolution in the Assembly urging the Centre to seek the extradition of the LTTE chief, V. Prabakaran, Mr. Karunanidhi said that it would be made known when the resolution was tabled.

He was speaking to presspersons at the Chepauk MLA office. Just over a month after his MLA office in Chepauk was attacked, the DMK chief today visited the refurbished office and accepted petitions from people.

``I will come here every week and accept petitions,'' Mr. Karunanidhi said. The petitions would be sent to the relevant departments for action.

On March 8, some miscreants damaged the windowpanes and a portion of the wall of the office. Mr. Karunanidhi undertook a fast the next day demanding that the police apprehend the culprits. He gave up the fast on the assurance of the police commissioner.
