I had blogged a couple of days back that indications to that Maran family and Karunanidhi family are drifting apart,quoting SUN net work Kalanidhi Maran‘s friend Murugan stating in News Channel TIMES NOW that the cases on Maran were foisted by A.Raja of 2 G scam notoriety when he was the IT Minister.

“Maran had said that he himself would prove his innocence. He will take the necessary course of action. I do not have anything more to add to this,” said Karunanidhi on Wednesday morning.
Maran had claimed his innocence in response to reports about the functioning of a BSNL telephone exchange with 323 lines from his Chennai residence during his tenure as the union telecommunications minister from 2004 to 2007. “If I have done wrong, I am ready to face any punishment,” an upset Maran had told reporters last Thursday…
