on Thursday rejected Edappadi K Palaniswami's invitation to join the AIADMK alliance.
While CPI state secretary R Mutharasan called the invitation a 'joke', VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan said it was an attempt to create confusion in the DMK front.
DMK hit out at EPS, saying the invitation extended to its allies indicated that AIADMK front was weak in its current form.
Responding to EPS's statement that he would roll out red carpet for left parties and VCK to join AIADMK front, Mutharasan said "The carpet on which Palaniswami is travelling is blood-stained and not a red carpet, as BJP is in the alliance."

Mutharasan said EPS was issuing contradictory statements about the left parties.
"In Coimbatore, Palaniswami said communists have gone extinct, and in Chidambaram, he invites us to join the AIADMK alliance," he said.
Thirumavalavan said the invitation, which was a ploy to create confusion in the DMK alliance, will not work. On the remark of EPS that VCK was humiliated by DMK, Thirumavalavan said that expressing the challenges faced by VCK does not mean the party was humiliated. "All parties face difficulties in an alliance.

VCK faced challenges when it was in the AIADMK alliance too. Since we are expressing our difficulties in public, they (AIADMK) are creating an impression that we are humiliated, which is not true," he said.
CPM state secretary P Shanmugam said EPS chooses to issue a statement in the morning and contradict it in the evening. "During the Lok Sabha elections, he said he would not align with the BJP, but now he is in alliance with the BJP," he said. "What EPS will roll out for us would not be a red carpet, but a web of deceit," he said, adding that AIADMK itself was caught in the trap of RSS.
DMK leader and state MSME minister T M Anbarasan said Palaniswami's desperation to bring more parties into the alliance is an acknowledgment that their alliance is weak.

Rahul Gandhi to 'adopt' 22 orphaned children from Poonch affected by Pakistani shelling
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, will adopt 22 children from Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district who lost their parents or family breadwinners in the cross-border conflict during Operation Sindoor. Rahul Gandhi with children and families affected by cross-border shelling by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.(Congress) The education of these children, many of whom were orphaned in the wake of Pakistani shelling, will be fully funded by Gandhi, with support continuing until they complete their graduation, The Indian Express reported, quoting Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hamid Karra. He said the first aid instalment will be released this week to ensure the students can continue their schooling without interruption. 'Why did you stop?': Rahul Gandhi interjects as Rajnath Singh details Operation Sindoor ceasefire | Watch Gandhi, during a visit to Poonch in May, asked local party leaders to compile a list of affected children. Subsequently, a survey was conducted, and the names of the children were finalised after cross-checking government records. During his visit, Gandhi also stopped at Christ Public School to meet classmates of Urba Fatima and Zain Ali, 12-year-old twins who died in the shelling.

'I feel very, very proud of you. You miss your little friends. I'm very sorry about that. Now, you feel a little bit of danger and a little frightened, but don't worry; everything will go back to normal. Your way of responding to this should be to study really hard, play really hard and make a lot of friends in school,' the publication quoted Gandhi as saying. Poonch, one of the regions hit hardest by the Pakistani shelling, saw several civilians, including children, injured. Among the lives lost was Vihaan Bhargav, a young boy killed by shrapnel as his family tried to escape the escalating violence. Operation Sindoor was carried out in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people on April 22 this year. In retaliation, India targeted nine terror hubs across Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and Pakistan and neutralised over 100 terrorists. After the May 7 operations, India and Pakistan reached a cessation of hostilities understanding on May 10.

Lok Sabha sees smooth functioning of Question Hour after six days of disruption
NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed smooth functioning of the Question Hour for the first time since the beginning of the Parliament Monsoon session on July 21. The House has been witnessing repeated disruptions over the Opposition's demand for a debate on electoral roll revision in Bihar and Operation Sindoor. While the debate on Operation Sindoor commenced in the House on Monday, the Opposition disrupted the first half of the day demanding an assurance from the government that a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar will be held after that. Tuesday was the first time in six days that the House could take up the Question Hour without disruptions. Speaker Om Birla has been insisting that members should participate in the Question Hour as issues related to key ministries are taken up and the government is held accountable.
