DMK forms Committee to offer free advice to cadres, public

The opposition DMK has formed a Committee headed by a legal advisor, to provide free advice on posting comments in social networking sites by cadres and public.
The move comes in the backdrop of some allegation made by party cadres that they were threatened by AIADMK men for comments made on social networking sites like Facebook.
In order to protect the cadres, well wishers and the general public, a committee headed by DMK Legal Advisor and senior lawyer N R Elango has been formed, DMK said in a party statement.
"The cadres or any general public can approach the Committee on such issues to get free legal advice", it said.

Meanwhile, in another statement, DMK Working President, M K Stalin requested the cadres to provide books instead of presenting shawls on his birthday which falls on March 1.
Stalin who will turn 64 year old, requested them to avoid presenting shawls instead give him books during birthday celebration.
"The books will not only help me to enrich knowledge but can also be given to libraries in order to benefit the larger section of the society", he said.
"Instead of presenting shawls, I request you all to give me books on March one. It will be my biggest birthday gift ever", he said.
