The difference of opinion between MDMK general secretary Vaiko and presidium chairman Tirupur S. Duraisamy reached a critical stage when he called for merger of the party with the DMK.
“In the interest of contemporary politics and in order not to disappoint the partymen who followed your fiery speeches, merge the MDMK with the DMK,” he said in a letter to Mr. Vaiko.
Asked about the letter of Mr. Duraisamy, who is also the secretary of the Marumalarchi Labour Front (MLF), Durai Vaiko, the headquarters secretary of the MDMK, wondered whether Mr. Duraisamy was ready to withdraw the case between the Coimbatore Periyar District Panchalai Thozhilalargal Sangam, affiliated to the MLF and Labour Progressive Front (LPF), affiliated to the DMK, since he was interested in a merger.
