The DMK’s 10th State conference, which began in Tiruchi on Saturday with the ceremonial unfurling of the party flag by DMK president M. Karunanidhi, made it amply clear that Party Treasurer M.K. Stalin was emerging as the undisputed successor.
DMK president M Karunanidhi unfurled the flag and Party Treasurer M K Stalin hoisted it, as innovative fireworks lit up the sky. Portraits of leaders of the ‘Self-Respect’ movement and Dravidian icons were unveiled
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief, M.

sixth time in a row, when he chairs the 10th session here on February
15 and 16.
Karunanidhi, as party president, first presided over the fifth in 1975.
Later, he presided over the sixth at Tiruchi (1990), seventh at
Coimbatore (1993), eighth at Tiruchi (1996) and the ninth also at
Tiruchi (2006).
This is considered a rare achievement for any political
leader in a democratic set-up.
The DMK has so far
held 9 State conferences ever since it was launched at a public
meeting at Robinson Park in Chennai on September 17, 1949.
The party founder, C. N. Annadurai, presided over the first three State conferences.

The 10th State conference of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on
Sunday Feb 16,2014 urged the Indian government to move a resolution in the United
Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) seeking referendum among the Sri
Lankan to facilitate a political solution preferred by them.
A resolution adopted in the meeting said India should insist on a
referendum under the supervision of the United Nations and an
international inquiry into the alleged war crimes in the last phase of
war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE.
The Centre should not fall prey to the Sri Lankan government and should
stand by the U.S. when the resolution against the Sri Lankan government
for its human rights violations is moved in the UNHRC
DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin, at the tenth state conference, had reflected
the resolution of the party's general council meeting on alliance for
the Lok Sabha elections.
“The resolution has clearly explained on whom we should have alliance
with; and the parties that should be excluded. Those who are present
here in the venue and on the dais have understood well the resolutionDMK MP Kanimozhi on Sunday Feb 16,2014 said social justice could be protected only if the DMK alliance, led by Party chief Karunanidhi, wins all the 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in the Lok Sabha polls

DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin on Sunday accused the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam of being a regime of “empty promises” as it never cared to implement any of the promises made to the people.
Addressing the mammoth State conference of the DMK here, he said the
people of Tamil Nadu were desperately looking for elections to the State
Assembly along with the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls as they were tired
of the AIADMK regime.
Citing a report of Central Statistical Organisation, he said, the growth
of the State had plummeted as it was no longer the destination of
investors, he said.
On alliance for the Lok Sabha polls, Mr. Stalin, who strongly opposed an
alliance with the Congress, said the Tiruchi conference had reflected
the resolutions adopted in the general council of the party. “The
resolution has clearly explained with whom we should have alliance and
the parties that should not be included in the alliance,” he said. The
general council, adopting a resolution against going with the Congress,
decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls in the company of the existing
allies.
