In a significant development, the DMK on Tuesday decided to support the Centre in Parliament when the discussion on FDI in multi-brand retail sector takes place. “One should not forget the situation of the UPA government falling if a discussion and voting takes place under rule 184 in Parliament accepting the demand of BJP and some other parties,” DMK Chief M Karunanidhi said, in a three-page statement.
It maybe noted that DMK’s decision comes two days after Congress emissary Ghulam Nabi Azad met Karunanidhi, on the issue.
?Though there may be thousands of differences still persisting on the issue and considering the consequences if the government falls at the Centre, in bitterness, the DMK has decided to support the UPA government on the issue”, Karunanidhi said. The DMK chief said no room should be given to communal parties like BJP coming to power if there was a danger to the UPA government.
