Anbumani tenders apology, Father-son stand off in PMK seems to be heading for smooth ending

The stand off between father son in the PMK's first family appears to be heading for a smooth ending after PMK President Dr Anbumani tendering an apology to his father and Party Founder Dr.S.Ramadoss on Sunday.

- 

A day after the senior Ramadoss came down heavily and sharpened his attack on his son and declared that he would remain as PMK Founder and Chief till his last breadth, Dr Anbumani sought to bury the hatchet and tendered an apology.

The apology tendered by Anbumani was expected to strengthen the reconciliatory efforts being made by party seniors, including PMK Patron G K Mani, stressing on the need for the party to remain united especially with the key Assembly elections about 10 months away.

"Ayya (as Dr Ramadoss is affectionately called), should live for more than 100 years with good health, satisfactions and happiness. As a son, It is my duty to ensure that", he said.

"If you have any angst against me, please forgive me...there is nothing wrong in a son apologising to his father", Dr Anbumani said, in what could be seen as an attempt to bring an end to the brewing stand off with his father, which at one stage seemed to have reached a dead end.

"Tell me what should I do...as a son and as Party President, I will do it", he said, adding, "PMK was founded and nurtured by you, we will work towards realising your dreams", he added.
