Jaya demands Karuna's arrest, assembly dissolution

Chennai, Oct 25 (PTI) Stepping up her attack against the DMK Government on the LTTE issue, AIADMK General Secretary Jayalalithaa today demanded dissolution of the Tamil Nadu Assembly besides arrest of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for allegedly eulogising late LTTE leaders S Tamilselvan and Anton Balasingam."I have made this demand long back. Whether the UPA Government, of which the DMK is a constituent, has the guts to do this?" she asked in a statement.The arrest of Tamil film directors Seeman and Amir, for their pro-LTTE remarks at a rally by film industry in Rameswaram, was only a "farce", she alleged."They were in full public view in the human chain and Karunanidhi had also seen them in the demonstration. Why police did not arrest them initially? They were arrested only after completion of the human chain and after giving interviews to media," she charged.Jayalalithaa also demanded the arrest of DPI leader Thol Thirumavalavan, who had also reportedly supported the LTTE, at a conference here in January last.Alleging that his party colleague Vanniarasu was involved in arm smuggling for LTTE, she wanted to know why the two were not arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
