DMK convenes executive committee meet to condole Karuna's death

The DMK today said an urgent meeting of its executive committee will be held on August 14 to condole the death of party president M Karunanidhi.

All the members of the committee were asked to participate in the meeting without fail. It will begin at 10 am at the party headquarters 'Anna Arivalayam,' here.

The meeting's agenda is to condole the death of Karunanidhi, a release by party general secretary K Anbazhagan said.

A similar meeting was held when party founder and Chief Minister C N Annadurai passed away in 1969, a party leader said.

Asked if no other issue will be taken up at the meet, he told PTI, "A condolence resolution will be adopted and other than that, there is nothing on the agenda now... a date for holding the general council meet may be considered and announced."
