Swamy to throw Karuna's legal notice in dust bin

Chennai, Feb 6: Following the news that DMK supremo M Karunanidhi sent a legal notice to Subramaniam Swamy, the Janata party president rubbished the news and claimed that he has not received any legal notice yet.

"If I'll receive any legal notice from Karunanidhi, I'll throw that (legal notice) in dust bin," stated Swamy while he was asked about the "rumour".

A news stated that Karunanidhi on Feb 6, issued a legal notice to Swamy, demanding retraction of his (Swamy) ''statement'' linking him (Karunanidhi) to the 2G spectrum scam within 24 hours.

Stating about Tamil Nadu CM's legal notice, Swamy stated, "It (news) seems that Mr Karunanidhi does not have any sense of law."

He also continued as saying, "If he (Karuna) sends any legal notice over my statement in court, it will be a wastage of paper, money and time."

Karunanidhi's notice, as per the news, issued through counsel P R Ramancomes a day after Swamy's plea in a Delhi court for continuance of his private complaint in the 2G case, seeking to claim that it covered a wider canvas of "involvement" of the DMK patriarch.

The Janata Party leader had said that he intends to file an application seeking to impaled Karunanidhi in the case as there was sufficient evidence to that effect.

Despite Swamy's denial of any legal notice from DMK supremo, the notice, which was issued to Swamy's Chennai residential and official address, was released to the media.

The legal notice claimed that the statement by Swamy was made "recklessly" with the intention of causing "serious injury" to Karunanidhi's image and reputation.
