AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam maintained on Sunday that his party remained the principal Opposition party in and outside the Assembly. He said the DMK government was not resolving the issues of people but was interfering in religious matters, something that he said should stop at once.
In a nine-page statement, he said television news channel debates in the recent past “attempted to make out that the AIADMK was lax in its role”. His party remained true to former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai’s definition of how an Opposition party must function.
