TMC urges Nedumaran to reveal names

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, NOV. 24. The Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, Mr. S. Balakrishnan, today asked the Tamil Nationalist Movement leader, Mr. P. Nedumaran to reveal the names of the politicians and officials who had allegedly abetted with bandit Veerappan.

Since Mr. Nedumaran had alleged that politicians and officials were hand in glove with Veerappan, he had a moral responsibility to divulge the details, Mr. Balakrishnan said, in a statement today.

The senior TMC leader demanded either a CBI enquiry or a judicial probe into the Kannada actor, Mr. Rajkumar's abduction as conflicting reports had emerged about how and when he was released.

Mr. Balakrishnan also clarified that the TMC was not opposed to the release of the TADA detenus if they were innocent and that he himself had met then Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr.J.H.Patel and appealed to him to take steps for their release.
