Chennai: DMK today ruled out revival of ties with its erstwhile ally PMK even if the latter expressed regret over vituperative remarks of its senior leader J Guru.

"The matter is over", DMK Chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi told reporters tonight on being asked about revival of relationship with PMK, if its leadership expressed regrets on remarks of Guru against Union Minister A Raja and DMK MLA Sivasankar.

Reacting sharply to PMK general council resolution that DMK had snapped ties for the vituperative speech made by Guru in January, Karunanidhi asked whether any delay in action by his party meant that there was no speech at all.

On PMK founder Dr S Ramadoss s charge that his party was shown doors from DMK-led alliance without consulting the alliane partners, Karunanidhi said "it was a decision taken by his party. When we gave a Rajya Sabha seat to that party (for union Health Minister Dr Anbumani) PMK did not ask us to consult other allies".

On Ramadoss s remarks that DMK attempted to attack late Indira Gandhi, during her visit to Tamil Nadu in 1977,he said "these things could be taken only by those who could be easily deceived".
