 MGR statue unveiled, Maran next
A statue of AIADMK founder M G Ramachandran was unveiled in Parliament on Thursday-the humdrum event was significant, as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi kept away.
Maran has the distinction of serving five Lok Sabha and three Rajya Sabha terms, but the AIADMK has often questioned his eligibility to join nearly 70 others national leaders in the Parliament complex as a statue.
The AIADMK says Ramachandran deserves a place in Parliament because as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu he earned a demigod-like status for his welfare programmes and pro-poor policies.

 Karunanidhi defines Tamil Nadu role in SL-India-NEWS-The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
What he left unsaid was: if New Delhi considers the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) a terrorist outfit or draws a distinction between the Tamil people and the Tigers, then that will be Tamil Nadu's view too.
In other words, unlike the 1980s when Karunanidhi competed with his arch rival and AIADMK founder leader MG Ramachandran in expressing support to the Tamil cause, Tamil Nadu will now let New Delhi frame and execute India's Sri Lanka policy.
Although Tamil Nadu's two dominant parties, the DMK and AIADMK, had stopped supporting the LTTE after the 1991 assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, this is the first time Karunanidhi is publicly making his stand so forthrightly clear.
