Jaya's fate may be decided on Monday

The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Sunday asked the Tamil Nadu police to take all steps to prevent any "untoward incident" on Monday, when the fate of the assembly nomination of All India Anna DMK chief Jayalalitha was likely to be decided.

In a letter to Director General of Police R Rajagopalan, DMK treasurer Arcot N Veerasamy, charged Jayalalitha with "indirectly" instigating her party cadres to indulge in violence during electioneering by stating that the DMK might fan trouble in case her nomination was rejected.

Referring to Jayalalitha's charge earlier in the day that the DMK was planning large-scale violence and then blame it on her party, Veerasamy dismissed it as a "concocted one."
