The AIADMK on Monday maintained silence on the sanction given by Governor R.N. Ravi to prosecute two of its seniors, C. Vijayabaskar and B.V. Ramanaa, in the gutkha case.
Asked whether the sanction was given because the AIADMK, in late September, decided to part ways with the BJP, an official spokesperson, also a former Minister, said he would not like to respond.
