Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M
Karunanidhi on Friday asserted that the security provided to
Opposition leader Jayalalithaa has not been curtailed as
alleged by her party.
Responding to the charge made by AIADMK`s P K Sekar
Babu in the state Assembly that Jayalalithaa was not given
adequate security especially while addressing public meetings,
Karunanidhi said she was being provided security she was
entitled to.

He said he had often assured that she was being given
adequate security, and asked "under which category", implying
she was enjoying `Z` plus security.
"I have repeatedly made it clear that what security
cover she is being provided and under which category," he said
in response to Babu`s charges that the chief minister would be
held responsible if something happened to Jayalalithaa as he
held the Home portfolio.

Taking a dig at the Opposition member, Karunanidhi
hoped that AIADMK workers themselves did not harm their leader
in the process of targeting him on this issue.
