“Take a vow that you won’t show enmity and inform IT dept until elections”, DMK General Secretary says to party functionaries

In a comic yet unfortunate incident, DMK General Secretary Duraimurugan while addressing the party functionaries at the launch of the yet another campaign titled “Reject ADMK” asked party functionaries to now show enmity and inform Income Tax department atleast until the elections are done.

On December 20, the DMK under the leadership of M.K. Stalin kickstarted yet another campaign against the incumbent AIADMK government titled “Reject ADMK”.

While speaking at the event, Duraimurugan who is also the Katpadi MLA said “Promise on your mother, promise on your mother’s womb, promise on your father, promise on our leader Anna who raised us, promise on our leader [Karunanidhi], promise on the embodiment of ‘Thalaivar’ and ‘Anna’ our ‘Thalapathy’ [M.K. Stalin]… Take a vow that for the coming days, until elections are done, that you won’t show enmity among yourselves. That you won’t tip-off information about anyone. Let me go a step further.. There are some ungrateful people in the party who are informing the Income Tax department about us. Their hearts have become rotten and thankless. Thinking about it as a person who has grown in this party for 60 years pains me“.

The DMK is about to face series of challenges in the next few months as some of its leaders are involved in high profile scams for which investigations and court proceedings are on-going. The 2G spectrum corruption case that involves DMK ‘Deputy’ General Secretary and Nilgiris MP A. Raja along with Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi has been fast-tracked with the CBI filing an appeal. DMK MP Jagathrakshakan faces charges of land grab who has also invested more than ₹26,000 crores in an oil refinery in Hambantota, Sri Lanka.
