Cong extends support to DMK's fast

Ruling Congress here has announced its support to the fast being held tomorrow by the DMK to protest what that party called was "murder of democracy" in neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

The fast is also to protest the alleged manhandling of DMK working president M K Stalin in the Tamil Nadu assembly on February 18 when the trust vote was taken up.

In a release, Puducherry PWD Minister and PCC president A Namassivayam announced the party's support to the DMK's fast.

DMK is an alliance partner of the Congress and supports the Narayanasamy-led government from outside.
