 "Jayalalithaa should have visited injured: Karunanidhi")
DMK president M. Karunanidhi Saturday questioned Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa for not visiting the injured in the twin bomb blasts in a train here.
He said he along with senior officials had visited the injured in Coimbatore blasts in 1998 when he was the chief minister.
