After Supreme Court Relief, Disqualified Tamil Nadu Minister To Get Post Back

Chief Minister MK Stalin has written to the Governor asking for DMK leader K Ponmudy's oath-taking as a minister today or tomorrow

Disqualified Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader K Ponmudy will be reinstated days after the Supreme Court stayed his conviction and three-year jail sentence in a disproportionate asset case.

Chief Minister MK Stalin has written to the Governor asking for Mr Ponmudy's oath-taking as a minister today or tomorrow.

The DMK leader and his wife, P Visalakshi, faced allegations of acquiring wealth disproportionate to their known sources of income when he was the Higher Education and Mines Minister in the DMK government in 2006 and 2011.
