THE ruling DMK and its allies, on Sunday, appealed to the people of Tamil Nadu to reject the attempts of the BJP and Sangh Parivar to destabilise communal harmony in Tamil Nadu.

In a joint statement issued following the controversy at Thiruparankundram Hill in Madurai district, the leaders of DMK, Dravidar Kazhagam, Congress, MDMK, CPM, CPI, IUML, VCK, MNM, Manithaneya Makkal Katchi, Kongunadu Makkal Desiya Katchi and TVK said, during the last three years, minor right-wing outfits have become active in Tamil Nadu.

"These outfits who remained relatively dormant during the past three years, have launched their divisive politics aimed at the 'election harvest' of BJP and they have been executing conspiracies to disrupt the unity of Tamil Nadu," the leaders said.
