Chennai, Oct 30 (IANS) AIADMK chief J. Jayalalitha Thursday alleged a ‘murderous DMK plot to assassinate’ her after the windscreen of her vehicle was damaged in stone pelting by a huge mob gathered at her rally. The police claimed her supporters had thrown stones in frustration after failing to get a better view of their leader.
The trouble arose during her address to a rally on the 101st birth and 46th death anniversary of the late Forward Bloc leader Muthuramalinga Thevar at Pasumpon, a village 500 km south of here.
Upon returning to Chennai in the evening, an angry Jayalalitha lashed out at the ruling DMK. ‘Chief Minister Karunanidhi obviously masterminded the action of a handful of agent provocateurs amongst hundreds of thousands of my supporters who had gathered to greet me. These mischief-mongers pelted stones on my motorcade, damaging the windscreens of two vehicles, including mine, in an obvious murderous attempt to kill me.’
