Chennai: DMK President M Karunanidhi Tuesday
said he has not sought any replacement in the Union Cabinet
reshuffle for the party in the wake of resignations of A Raja
and Dayanidhi Maran over the 2G spectrum scam.

"No," was his reply when reporters asked if he had asked
for inclusion of any DMK members in today`s cabinet reshuffle.

Asked if Tamil Nadu`s representation in the Cabinet will
come down in the wake of his party`s reluctance, he said the
DMK`s General Council meet in Coimbatore on July 24 would
discuss these issues.

On whether he discussed the issue of his daughter
Kanimozhi, now in Tihar jail in the 2G case, during his
meeting with senior Congress leader and Finance Minister
Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday, he replied in the negative.
