Saturday, September 30, 2006, 22:03 [IST]

Chennai, Sept 30 (UNI) Marumalarchi DMK (MDMK) General Secretary Vaiko called on AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalithaa at her residence here this evening.

AIADMK Election wing secretary O Panneerselvam and Headquarters Secretary K A Sengottaiyan were present on the occasion, a party release here said.

The meeting assumed significance as this was the first time the two leaders were meeting after the Dalit Panthers of India (DPI) walked out of the AIADMK-led front last week.

The DPI led by Thol Thirumavalavan quit the front, alleging that he was insulted by the AIADMK during seat sharing talks for the October 13 and 15 local body elections.
