New Delhi, Apr 26 (PTI) The Congress today appeared confident that ally DMK will not take any drastic action at its crucial meeting to be held tomorrow in the wake of the CBI naming Tamil NaduChief Minister M Karunanidhi''s daughter Kanimozhi in the 2G scam charge sheet.
"We are not worried", a senior Congress leader, who did not wish to be identified, said, noting that the development was the result of the investigation by the CBI which has already arrested former Telecom Minister A Raja in the case.
Party spokesperson Manish Tewari also dismissed as "illusion" the suggestions about strain in Congress'' ties with the DMK following the developments in the 2G case and said the UPA government was "fully stable".
"The UPA government is fully stable. If anybody is living in the illusion or flying the kites of imagination, it will be correct for him to clear his misgivings," Tewari said in Delhi.
The DMK top brass would discuss ways to handle the new situation arising out of the CBI naming Kanimozhi as co-conspirator in the scam, taking it to the doors of DMK''s first family for the first time.
Since Kanimozhi''s name appeared in the charge sheet yesterday, Congress has been dismissing any threat to the UPA Government in view of the CBI action.
The new development has put additional strain on the DMK-Congress ties in a span of just two months. Earlier, the Dravidian party had threatened to pull out its ministers over seat-sharing talks for Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
The DMK is the third largest constituent of the UPA after Congress and Trinamool Congress and has 18 members in the Lok Sabha.
The DMK is apparently miffed at the "publicity exercise of gargantuan proportions" given to CBI questioning Kanimozhi, Karunanidhi''s wife Dayaluammal and Sharad Kumar, all stakeholders in Kalaignar TV, which is in an eye of storm for receiving loans from DB Realty in a "circuitous route."
According to DMK sources, the Dravidian party is unlikely to do anything that would precipitate matters with Congress particularly at a time when results of the Assembly polls will be out on May 13.
A senior Congress leader said that as a political party the DMK will understand that these issues need to be fought politically and legally and "mere submission of a charge sheet does not prove one guilty".
