Wisdom at last

Dr Ramadoss, founder, Pattali Makkal Katchi and Tamil Protection Movement has been a bete noire for the Tamil industry. His protests against Tamil films with English titles have been disgusting. But now there seem to a change in his stance. He seems to have struck by a sudden lightning of wisdom.
"We will stop our activities in this issue. We will not protest. We will just make pleas and requests to the filmwallahs. We are not going to indulge in any kind of violence to enforce our requests or demand".
In a statement issued in Chennai yesterday, Ramadoss said, 'in regard with the agitations of our organization, for saving the Tamil language, we want to achieve much more than just making the people in cinema to change the titles.
We won't waste our resources by agitating for this small issue. We do have many other issues, which affect people more." Now that his threats have not worked, perhaps Ramadoss is singing a different tune.
