CHENNAI: DMK patriarch and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, who is on a day long fast, demanding speedy completion of Sethusamudram project, on Monday said his party and its allies in the DPA had complied with directions of the Madras High Court, when it declined to stay the bandh call given by the DPA in the state.
Addressing a gathering in front of the fast venue, he said 'When we were making arrangements to observe a bandh after complying with the court's directives, the Supreme Court stayed the bandh. We decided to observe a peaceful fast to express our feelings. We cannot be stopped from expressing our opinion. We had no other go', he said.
"We will abide by the courts, as we are law abiding citizens", he said without mentioning the strictures passed by the Supreme Court today.
He said the name of Lord Ram was being 'unnecessarily dragged in' by some parties to stall the project.
