TNA Parliamentarians R. Sambandan, Mavai Senadhirajah and Suresh Premachandran who back the Ex-General at the Presidential Election went to Delhi to appraise their stand. They did not meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanithi.

Meanwhile, a woman Parliamentarian from the Eastern Province said that she was ignorant of the TNA’s talks with the Opposition or any agreement.
