CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on Monday charged AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa with going on a day's fast on Sri Lankan Tamils issue with an eye on the Lok Sabha polls.
"The opposition leader is making noises only because Lok Sabha polls are round the corner," Karunanidhi said.
Writing in DMK's mouthpiece 'Murasoli,' he said Jayalalithaa, who has levelled allegations against UPA and DMK governments on Lankan Tamils issue, had earlier herself said India had no right to interfere in the island nation's internal affairs.
"She had earlier ruled out Indian intervention in Sri Lanka on the plea that if it was done, it might lead to other countries interfering in our internal affairs, threatening the sovereignity," he said.
Karunanidhi criticised Jayalalithaa for collecting donations for Sri Lankan Tamils at the venue of her fast today while she had flayed his government for mobilising funds in the form of cheques.
