At a time when the relationship between their parties is under strain, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thol. Thirumavalavan called on MDMK general secretary Vaiko at the latter’s residence in Anna Nagar here on Tuesday.
In a joint press conference following their meeting, the two leaders sought to set their differences aside.
“I have always been Thirumavalavan’s well-wisher. Even when we were not in an alliance, he visited me when I was in prison,” Mr. Vaiko said.
Explaining the reason behind the strain in ties, triggered by a social media post made by VCK functionary Vanniyarasu, Mr. Thirumavalavan said Mr. Vaiko was a “transparent person who spoke his mind”.
