DMK to boycott India bloc meet on June 8 in New Delhi

The decision comes after Congress severed ties and joined the Vijay-led TVK government in a post-poll pact.

Chennai: The opposition DMK on Thursday said that it will not attend the India bloc meeting to be held in New Delhi on June 8.

The decision comes after its long-time ally, the Congress, severed ties and joined the Vijay-led TVK government in a post-poll pact.

The Dravidian major said it will not participate in the meeting in order to respect the sentiments of its cadres.
