Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi said he would visit New Delhi on Monday to meet his daughter Kanimozhi, former Union Minister A. Raja and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar, all lodged in Tihar jail in connection with the 2G spectrum scam.

Talking to reporters here on Sunday, Mr. Karunanidhi said there might not be an opportunity to meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi during his visit to Delhi on Monday. To a question on the status of his party's ties with the Congress, Mr. Karunanidhi maintained that the relations were still cordial. “It is not what you wanted,” he said, referring to the media.

The DMK's Parliamentary party leader T.R. Baalu represented the party at the dinner hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the second anniversary of the UPA regime, but its Ministers skipped the event.
