One more rejection to Kanimozhi

CHENNAI (IANS): This is the fourth time that the honorable court denied the bail plea of Karunanidhi’s daughter Kanimozhi. It was painful for the former chief minister and he was shocked and upset about the issue of her daughter Kanimozhi.

According to party officials, Karunanidhi is shocked and upset at the court’s denial of bail to his daughter.

All the plans of a grand welcome were washed away. Former deputy chief minister and Karunanidhi’s son MK Stalin, who went to New Delhi to bring back his step-sister, would be returning empty-handed after the court hearing the 2G spectrum scam denied Kanimozhi and seven others bail.

Stalin went to New Delhi on Wednesday to escort Kanimozhi back home if she was given bail.

According to party officials, Karunanidhi had planned to go to the Chennai airport to receive Kanimozhi.

Following denial of bail, Karunanidhi decided to confine himself to his residence and did not visit the party headquarters here.

Kanimozhi has been lodged in the Tihar Jail since May, charged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as a co-conspirator in the mega 2G spectrum allotment scam.

“Party leaders are in shock. The party will remain silent,” a DMK leader told IANS.

Expectations of bail for Kanimozhi ran high as the CBI did not oppose her release when her bail application came up for hearing earlier.
