Coimbatore, Jul 25: The DMK, infuriated by the detention of Kanimozhi, daughter of the party president M Karunanidhi accused in the 2G scam, on Sunday condemned the CBI and accused it of acting in a partisan manner.

A resolution was passed at the general council stating, “Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid, former Law Minister Veerappa Moily, BJP leaders Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha have all voiced their resentment over detaining an accused for a prolonged period without being convicted. Even Justice O P Saini, who is hearing the case, had questioned the CBI’s mindset that an accused should remain in jail even during the prosecution.”

However, later Karunanidhi clarified that the party was only blaming the officers of the CBI and not the organization on the whole.

The party also criticized the State government for seeking to put on hold the implementation of Uniform School Education system, abolition of Anna Universities of Technology, shifting the Secretariat to Fort St George and stopping the work at the new Secretariat.

In yet another resolution, the general council demanded that action be taken against those members of political parties who were involved in land grabbing.
