Congress leaders.

remarks (on Congress` demand for increased seats) during the
(second round of) seat-sharing talks with Congress following
which they got furious. There is no truth in this and no such
incident took place," the law minister said in a statement
here.

"well-aware" of it and added that no person other than the
delegation members were present during the parleys.

Union Ministers P Chidambaram and G K Vasan, while the DMK
panel comprises of party Treasurer and Deputy Chief Minister M

are just figment of their imagination. They are doing so only
to create confusion in the alliance to please AIADMK leader

Duraimurugan said he was issuing the clarification in
order to scotch doubts in readers` minds whether such reports
were true.
