P Chidambaram only a burden on earth, says Tamil Nadu chief minister

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Tuesday launched a blistering attack on P Chidambaram, saying the veteran Congress leader was "only a burden" on the earth.

The chief minister was responding to criticism of his party by Chidambaram, who had reportedly said if the Centre decided to make Tamil Nadu a union territory like it has done in Jammu and Kashmir, the ruling AIADMK would not resist such a move.

Chidambaram was only concerned about his interests and not that of the country, he said in his tirade against the former Union Minister.
