Tamil Nadu
By Our Special Correspondent
In a statement here, the TMC general secretary, Peter Alphonse, said if the Dravidian parties supported the NDA Government in the censure motion, they would forfeit their claim of being followers of Periyar. The AIADMK decision to remain neutral on the censure motion was ``a flagrant violation of confidence and breach of faith'' reposed in the party leader, Jayalalithaa, by secular parties and the electorate in Tamil Nadu, he said. ``There will be occasions in the near future when she (Ms. Jayalalithaa) will understand that neutrality on an act of injustice would be more culpable than the injustice itself.'' He appealed to the DMK president, M. Karunanidhi, the ``most senior and active politician of the subcontinent hitherto known for his social values and secular credentials'' to put aside political considerations and come out of the ``cocoon of the compulsions of power'' to vote against the NDA Government. ``Posterity will remember their leaders not for the office they held but for the causes they stood for.''
