Karunanidhi attacks AIADMK Government for 'neglect' of Anna library

All the facilities provided in the library were lying in deplorable condition due to "political vendetta" of one person, he said, in a statement, referring to some media reports on its present state.

"Is this the fate for the library which was constructed in memory of late Chief Minister CN Annadurai who echoed the need for a library in every household?" he asked.
  
Referring to the newly built Secretariat building which has since been converted into super speciality hospital, he said, "just because it was inaugurated under my leadership in the presence of (then) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President, Sonia Gandhi and other Chief Ministers, the building is not serving the purpose. Only the tax payers' money has gone waste.", he said.

2G case: Charges framed against A Raja, Kanimozhi

If convicted, Raja and others will face a maximum sentence of upto seven years.
  
This is the second case in the 2G spectrum allocation scam in which Raja, Kanimozhi and others, including Swan Telecom promoters Shahid Usman Balwa and Vinod Goenka, will face trial for their alleged involvement in the scam.
  
The court framed charges against 19 accused – 10 individuals and nine companies -- under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and fixed the case for commencement of trial on November 11.
  
It said there was enough material on record which makes out a "prima facie" case against all the accused who were chargesheeted by the Enforcement Directorate on April 25, for committing an offence punishable under the PMLA.
  
"Accordingly, I find that there is enough material on record to make out or to presume a prima facie case against each accused for committing an offence of money-laundering as defined under section 3 and punishable under section 4 of the (PML) Act," Special CBI Judge O P Saini said.
