The DMK on Saturday threatened to launch civil and criminal defamation proceedings against BJP State president K. Annamalai for allegedly levelling defamatory charges against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin and demanded damages to the tune of ₹100 crore from him.
In a notice, DMK organisation secretary R.S. Bharathi said Mr. Annamalai should tender an unconditional public apology and desist from making defamatory statements against the Chief Minister who is in Dubai, promoting trade. The notice has been sent by the DMK MP and senior advocate P. Wilson.
Mr. Bharathi termed as “baseless and defamatory” the allegations of Mr. Annamalai that the Chief Minister’s family function was taking place in Dubai.
