Modi visa letter: DMK MPs to move privilege motion
30 July 2013 10:30 PM GMT
DMK members may move a privilege motion in the ensuing monsoon session of Parliament against ‘misuse’ of their signatures in a letter urging US President Barack Obama to deny visa to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, said the party spokesperson.
He said the party will look at the website www.65traitors.com that carries the scanned copy of a letter written to Obama and also the signatures of the 65 MPs who are alleged to have signed it. Many MPs have denied signing the letter and alleged their signatures have been foged.
‘Our MPs plan to move a privilege motion in parliament in the ensuing session on the matter. It is a clear case of signature misuse. When asked about the letter and their signatures, our MPs say that they had appended their signatures for a different petition,’ TKS Elangovan, DMK’s Lok Sabha member and spokesperson, said. While he agrees the signatures of DMK MPs are genuine.
