What do you mean by prestigious issue. Whose prestige are you talking about. This is a national issue. Its not always SC gets it rite or able to influence situation. No one is above law. If Karunanidhi.. whatever his contributions(seriously he has just started being a decent human recent days only.. he never cared earlier about anybody) he still is a citizen of the country just like u and me. These politicians irrespective of number of years they served, come and go. But, law of the land is permanent. It is not a question what answers he gives in public and newspaper. If there is request by law.. he should give it a reply the way its demanded. Dont try to support people blindly. Support the issues and not people.
