Former Union Minister and DMK leader M K Alagiri today sought to downplay the meeting between him and his sister Kanimozhi, MP, here last week, which came days after showcause notices were issued to some of his loyalsits for not attending party functions.
Talking to reporters here, he said "my sister has met me...That is all. But the media is twisting a meeting between a brother and sister", he said referring to reports that Kanimozhi was on a mission to broker peace.
Kanimozhi met Alagiri, DMK's south zone organising Secretary, at his residence on April 7 when she came here to attend a marriage.
He alleged that the Tamil Nadu government had stopped "all the good schemes" launched by him here and that corruption had increased manifold after the AIADMK came to power.
To another question Alagiri said "I will participate in the party meetings and functions if the high command directed me to do so".
