Jaya criticised judges when in power: Karunanidhi

Chennai, Feb 6 (UNI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi today hit back at AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalithaa for condemning him and his Ministerial colleague for ''casting aspersions'' on the judiciary, saying she had no moral right to criticise them.

Mr Karunanidhi said in a statement here the AIADMK leader, who castigated the judiciary when she was in power, was trying to give an impression that she had all respect for judges and judiciary.

''Just because a Judge of Madras High Court had passed an adverse order against her government, Ms Jayalalithaa had cut the water supply to the Judge's house and foisted a criminal case against the son-in-law of another judge,'' Mr Karunanidhi alleged.
