DMK members raise 'Dam 999' issue in Lok Sabha
Led by their Parliamentary Party leader T R Baalu, the DMK members rushed to the well of the House waving clippings of a newspaper report on the issue.
The members complained that the film Dam 999 was based on the story of Mullaperiyar Dam, over which Tamil Nadu and Kerala are locked in a legal dispute.
With the House adjourning due to uproar over a slew of issues, Baalu was called by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who were in the House, and talked to him about the issue.
They assured him that they would talk to Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni on the issue.
