Information on the AIADMK Party now in
Tamil Nadu can be found in Alan J. Day, ed. 1988. Political
Parties of the World. 3rd ed. Burnt Mill, Essex: Longman Group
Ltd., pp. 265-66, available in the Resource Centre in
Montréal.
The AIADMK is described as the "local ally"
of the Congress Party in Tamil Nadu by the Far Eastern Economic
Review (27 June 1991, 10). Also, according to the Far
Eastern Economic Review (13 June 1991):
In Tamil Nadu, members of Congress and its local ally, the
All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), went on a
rampage against opposing parties - particularly the Dravida
Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) which Congress directly accused of
complicity with the Sri Lankan Tamil militants suspected of
murdering [Rajiv] Gandhi. About 10 people were killed in rioting,
and DMK and communist newspaper offices were pillaged.
The above sources and corroborating sources
can be found in the IRBDC Indexed Media Review available in
the Resource Centre in Montréal.
