Eelam dispute: Stalin slams AIADMK

Cautioning the AIADMK to be wary of the fact that its government could be replaced, Stalin dared Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and his ministers to take the DMK to court over corruption charges.

Referring to Jayalalithaa’s conviction in the disproportionate assets case, Stalin said the verdicts of judge Cunha and the Supreme Court have shown the world how several companies were floated by the AIADMK leadership to make money.

Referring to the reported note made by Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, who had recorded the support extended by New Delhi in decimating the naval wing of the LTTE, Stalin said the AIADMK was silent on BJP’s role in crushing the Tamil Tigers because its leaders were embroiled in numerous scams. 

In another statement, Stalin expressed solidarity with the HR&CE department employees, who have called for a hunger strike against BJP national secretary H Raja. 

He demanded the immediate arrest of the saffron party leader for his alleged derogatory remarks against the family members of the government employees.
