Hence, the decision to launch direct political attacks  — not only against the leaders lobbying in Delhi against the T demand but also against several elected representatives of the region who have not resigned like Petroleum Minister S Jaipal Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha.The TJAC further decided to organise mock funerals and other programmes on July 22 in all the constituencies of MPs and MLAs who are not supporting the T movement.
