The Tamil Nadu BJP chief has been making constant attempts to defame, scandalise and tarnish the reputation of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, said the ruling DMK.
The ruling DMK on Saturday demanded Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai to tender an unconditional public apology to Chief Minister M K Stalin immediately and also pay Rs 100 crore as damages to the Chief Minister's relief fund for allegedly making "false, frivolous, vile and scandalous" remarks against Stalin.
The Dravidian major threatened to sue Mr Annamalai if he failed to comply with the legal notice served on him by DMK's organising secretary RS Bharathi through the senior advocate P Wilson.
The notice, a copy of which was made available to the media here, asked the BJP state president to "cease and desist from making defamatory statements against the DMK president and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu." In the notice, Mr Bharathi claimed the former IPS officer, who heads the BJP unit, had made "several vile, scandalous, malicious and false allegations" against the Chief Minister regarding his current trip to the United Arab Emirates to attend the Dubai Expo 2022 to attract foreign investment into the state.
Mr Annamalai has been making constant attempts to defame, scandalise and tarnish the reputation of the DMK president, and other leaders and members of the party, as the BJP was unable to make a mark in the elections, Mr Bharathi claimed.
