With the Congress led UPA holding fort at the Centre ‘in a loop’ with two of its prominent allies the Trinamool Congress and the DMK over Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s announcement on FDI in retail sector and the cap on cooking gas cylinders, the DMK’s emergency executive committee meeting to be held here tomorrow has sparked off speculation whether it would resort to any extreme action against. But on the face of it such a possibility appears to be very dim. Especially in the wake of DMK supremo and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi’s quip before newsmen soon after Mamta Bannerjee pulled out of UPA Government that his party was not the one to take such hasty action. The DMK supremo had also observed that his party had always been upholding coalition dharma and would do so even now. But the DMK has, much like Trinamool Congress, been differing strongly with some of the recent decisions of the Manmohan Singh Government.
