New Delhi, May 24: DMK chief M Karunanidhi today wound up an emotional visit to the capital after Congress sympathised with his plight but distanced itself and the government from the 2G case in which his daughter Kanimozhi is in jail.
The two-day visit, essentially to meet his daughter, coming in the wake of electoral debacle, was conspicuous by his not having a meeting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi, a privilege he enjoyed for the last seven years since DMK and Congress tied up in Tamil Nadu.
After a half-hour meeting with Karunanidhi in the hotel where he was staying, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters that “all these goings on did not affect the relationship between Congress and DMK and in future also it will have no effect whatsoever”.
