DMK deputy general secretary Duraimurugan on Friday described as "utter lie" and highly condemnable, the reports that he had resigned his party post, reiterating that it was the handy work of some vested interests.
He also refuted reports that he has difference of opinion with party leader M. Karunanidhi and deputy general secretary M.K. Stalin.
"DMK is my party: Kalaignar is my leader and Thalapathi is our guide. This is my stand. The question of me quitting the DMK will never happen, he said.

Reacting to media reports that he was unhappy with the party high command over denial of district secretary post for his son in Vellore district, Mr Duraimurugan, who is also the party's deputy leader in the Assembly said, he was in Vellore on Thursday to make arrangements for the organisational poll.
"When some reporters had called him to verify the news about his resignation. I categorically denied the news and explained the fact to reporters who had been waiting for me in front of my residence in Chennai. The reporters who called me for clarification had gone ahead with the news even though I denied my resignation. If this can be dharma of the media, what else can I do," he said in a statement.
Mr Duraimurugan said he was properly groomed in the party and had a sense of fulfilment. "I am retaining my membership in the party in the last 50 years and withstood all the political storms. I am not mere politician, but also a person who have strong faith in dravidian ideology," he said.
