CHENNAI: Deposed AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam on Monday called AIADMK's general council, which removed him and his supporters from the primary membership of the party last year, as a "fake" one and said the GC was dissolved with immediate effect.

OPS, in a statement, said he was the coordinator of the party. He initiated measures to dissolve the fake general council that amended the party's by-law last year following the recommendation of the party cadres. "I request the members not to have any connection with such members of the fake general council members," he said.
