If EPS proved his charge, OPS camp would withdraw from politics, stated J.C.D. Prabhakar
The AIADMK's former coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Thursday challenged the party’s interim general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, to prove the claim that he (Mr. Panneerselvam) and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin met on October 18, 2022 for 30 minutes.
"If he (Mr. Palaniswami) fails to prove his charge, he should quit politics," the former coordinator told reporters at the Chennai airport. He added that his colleagues had already responded to Mr. Palaniswami's claim.
Earlier, former Villivakkam legislator and Mr. Panneerselvam’s supporter, J.C.D. Prabhakar, denied of any such meeting having taken place. He said if Mr. Palaniswami proved his charge, the entire Panneerselvam camp would withdraw from politics. “Otherwise, we want him [Mr. Palaniswami] alone to quit politics,” Mr. Prabhakar added.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
