Karunanidhi leaves for Delhi to meet Kanimozhi

Chennai, May 23 (PTI) Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)
chief M Karunanidhi Monday left for New Delhi to meet his
daughter M Kanimozhi, who is lodged in Tihar jail in
connection with the 2G spectrum scam case.
Karunanidhi was accompanied by senior DMK leader
Duraimurugan, airport sources said.
The DMK patriarch, who has been sulking over the
arrest of Kanimozhi, had said Sunday he may not meet United
Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi -- a
practice he has followed whenever in Delhi ever since DMK
aligned with Congress in 2004.
Karunanidhi's wife Rajathi Ammal had met Kanimozhi, at
the court on Saturday.
Airport sources said Union Minister of Textiles
Dayanidhi Maran also left for New Delhi in a separate flight
Monday.
Karunanidhi's son and Union Minister of Chemicals and
Fertilisers M K Alagiri is already in New Delhi.
