Karunanidhi's remark dangerous: Mulayam

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, JUNE 6. The Samajwadi Party leader, Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav, today termed ``very dangerous'' the suggestion of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, advocating separation of Sri Lanka on the Czech model.

Noting that Sri Lanka was the first to support India during the Chinese aggression, he said such suggestions would be unjust to a ``friendly neighbour''.

Asserting that he was not in favour of Indian military intervention in the island, Mr. Yadav lambasted the Centre for not making clear its stand on the issue ``much earlier''. Noting that India's prolonged silence had only aggravated the confusion, he said the Centre should have intervened and resolved the crisis amicably by holding parleys.

Mr. Mulayam Singh was in Chennai leading a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Petroleum and Chemicals.
