Rajiv murder case: DK denial

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, OCT. 14. The Dravidar Kazhagam general secretary, Mr. K. Veeramani, has denied that any of those convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case belonged to his organisation.

Talking to reporters here recently, he accused the Janata Party president, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, of engaging in a disinformation campaign on this issue.

He also clarified that he was not associated with any committee formed to raise funds to pay the lawyers fees for the accused.

Mr. Veeramani said he was considering taking legal action against Dr. Swamy.

The DK leader said a secular movement could unite parties which were otherwise divided in Tamil Nadu. Such a movement was the need of the hour to defeat communal forces.

The DK, which was a non-electoral outfit, was trying to bring together all such outfits.

In this endeavour, it did not require that all the parties should subscribe to all the ideals of Periyar, he said.
