Karunanidhi chides Left parties
</b>
Chennai (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M Karunanidhi on Thursday chided the Left parties for withdrawing support to the UPA government, saying people will be angry against those who toppled the government over the Indo-US nuclear deal.

Asked about the Left's tirade against Congress after its withdrawal of support to the government, Karunanidhi told reporters here that "I don't believe in abusing or hurling charges after breaking from an alliance."

Karunanidhi said he still wanted things to come to an "amicable end" to resolve differences between the Left and the UPA on the nuclear deal.
