DMK chief Karunanidhi will wear black shirts 'forever'

Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK) cadres, including their chief M Karunanidhi on Friday Oct 5,2012 wore black outfits as a mark of protest against Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa’s ‘anti-people policies’.
According to media reports, Karunanidhi had announced that he would no longer be seen in a white shirt and yellow shawl that is his trademark. Instead, he will wear black shirts.

Karunanidhi had originally called for a human chain of party workers, all dressed in black, to protest against the AIADMK’s misdeeds.
The police, however, denied permission for that and so, the DMK later decided to change it to a door-to-door pamphlet distribution campaign.
