Tamil Nadu's DMK party announced its decision to pull out of an all-party Indian delegation set to visit to Sri Lanka this week, on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters, the DMK leader, Karunanidhi said,
“DMK never planned [to be part of the delegation]. There are past experiences to show that there is no use of such visits. Therefore, nobody from DMK is undertaking the visit.”
Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, of the AIADMK party, had announced her party's decision to withdraw their representative from the delegation earlier this week.
