Madras HC order setback for proxy callers: Surjewala

New Delhi Aug 8 (IANS) Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala on Wednesday said the Madras High Court judgement to allow the burial of DMK supremo M. Karunanidhi at Marina Beach was a "setback for proxy callers".
"Huge setback for proxy callers of Delhi Durbar conspiring to deny Anna his rightful burial place. Rahulji strongly supported the idea of a memorial for Karunanidhi at Marina. Why are central/state governments silent?" Surjewala tweeted.
"Huge victory of justice for DMK. Long live Anna " he added.
The DMK had approached the high court after the Tamil Nadu government declined their request to allow burial of DMK President and the state s five-time Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who breathed his last on Tuesday evening at Marina Beach.
The party won the legal battle on Wednesday.
