Will DMK sever ties with Congress in 2014?

CHENNAI: The DMK-backed Tamil Eelam Supporters Organization (TESO ) on Sunday demanded that the UPA government at the Centre pilot a resolution in Parliament seeking an international probe into alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka.

Political observers said it was a calculated move by DMK to distance itself further from its former UPA ally and signal a possible realignment in the approach to the 2014 LS elections.

Given the tone and tenor of the five resolutions passed at the meet and a recent remark by DMK chief M Karunanidhi that he did not exactly relish the prospect of allying with Congress, there is a clear indication of a growing divide.
