Will announce my next move on September 5: MK Alagiri

After reaching Chennai for the peace rally, MK Alagiri on Monday met reporters in Meenambakkam airport where he stated that he won't be meeting the DMK chief MK Stalin.

He said, "More than 1 lakh people will be participating in the peace rally. If I don't get a response from DMK even after I openly accepted MK Stalin as DMK chief, I will announce my next action on Spetrember 5. 

After days of threats to break the party and strong statements, the sacked south zone organising secretary of the DMK and the son of late DMK president M Karunanidhi, Alagiri on August 30, made a U-turn by saying that he was ready to accept the leadership of MK Stalin if he was readmitted into the party fold.

The former Union Minister, while expressing his willingness to work alongside the top party leadership, apparently referring to Stalin, said that he and his supporters have been reiterating it.

After being sidelined from DMK, the former Union Minister's up-coming peace rally will be his first move in Tamil Nadu politics. He has been frequently voicing his opinions about the party after the demise of his father.
