Makkal Thilagam MGR Part 8

[Russellisf]

தலைவரின் அருமையான மாறுவேட பாடல்

[Russellbpw]

இந்த வார குமுதம் இதழில் வெளிவந்த செய்தி.

நன்றி.:குமுதம் வார இதழ்.

What Mr.Cho had quoted is absolutely true !

Infact, had all the fans stood together for Mrs.Janaki instead of the other lady, History would have been re-written. Majority of the Fans, Viswaasis, preferred, still prefer "Drohi's" instead of "Enemy"

Unfortunately, we the people of Tamilnadu, most of times do not support good things and good cause !

Regards
RKS
