Will enfore prohibition, set up Lokayukta if came to power:DMK

MADURAI: DMK leader M K Stalin has assured enforcing prohibition and setting up of Lok Ayuktha in Tamil Nadu if his party was elected to power the assembly polls.

Addressing the state level advocates' conference of his party late last night, he said "as soon as Karunanidhi takes charge as Chief Minister (if DMK came to power after the assembly polls), he will sign for total prohibition and setting up of Lok Ayuktha".

He recalled that Karunanidhi brought an act similar to Lok Ayuktha in 1973 by which all the persons including the Chief Minister were punishable if found guilty in corruption cases.

The meeting also resolved to request the Centre to set up Supreme Court Bench in Chennai. They also demanded that Tamil be made official language of the High Court and people from all communities get representation in judiciary.
