Former AIADMK Minister seeks criminal action against her as she was claiming to be the party’s general secretary
A Metropolitan Magistrate Court directed the Mambalam Police to file a status report on the complaint given by AIADMK organising secretary and former minister D. Jayakumar, seeking to take criminal action against former AIADMK leader V.K. Sasikala, who is claiming to be the general secretary of the party.
Mr. Jayakumar had filed a complaint in the Metropolitan Magistrate Court seeking to direct police for registering a case, based on a complaint given by him and take criminal action against Ms. Sasikala.
The complainant submitted that after the demise of the party general secretary Jayalalithaa, the Election Commission of India (ECI) had declared that the group headed by O. Panneerselvam (Convener) and Edappadi K. Palaniswami (co-convener), was the real AIADMK party and they were entitled to use the reserved symbol of ‘two leaves’. The contentions and claims of Ms. Sasikala were rejected by the ECI.
