Fire play by Vaiko

MDMK leader Vaiko is playing with fire when he declared a political war on the Kerala Government over the Mullaperiyar dam issue. His action to beat up passions for making political mileage would end up in disaster unless Karunanidhi takes severe action against him. When the dilapidated dam is major threat the lives of lakhs of people in Kerala, Vaiko saying, “ We have great love for our sisters and brothers of Kerala. But don’t think we can be taken for a ride,” is a non-sense.

It is not Achuthanandan who created a fear about the aged dam but the experts have pointed out its decrepitude. Vaioko saying old Mullaperiyar dam is stronger than the Idukki dam, is to hoodwink the illiterate people of his region. Supply of essential commodities to Kerala is not a mercy done by Vaiko’s men in TN but is done in a reciprocate basis.

Vaiko’s agitation is intended to widen enmity between the two states. This should be contained by reconciliation talk by Karunanidhi and Achuthanandan. Vaiko, a spent force having dubious history of association with disruptive forces like LTTE, should not be allowed operate dubiously in this country. Spirit of unity is valuable than petty politics. Vaiko is playing petty politics.
