Jayalalithaa mocks at DMK on symbol issue

Responding to a notice by the High Court on DMK's petition, Election Commission yesterday sought two days time to respond to the plea of covering all the objects and signs on mini buses resembling “two leaves” and also covering of the photographs of Jayalalithaa on “Amma” water bottles and cans.

Jayalalithaa wanted to know if DMK leader Stalin would submit petitions urging the authorities to direct use of gloves by people to mask the Congress' hand symbol.  “Will he give a petition seeking chopping of the hands of everyone,?”

Listing out other symbols like mango and bicycle, she asked if the DMK would demand ban on mangoes sale and end commute by bicycles.
