AIADMK general secretary and Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday, March 10, 2024 met Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi and presented a representation flagging the issue of drug trafficking in the State and sought for an independent enquiry into the political links of Jaffer Sadiq, who has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau and identified as the kingpin of an international drug cartel.
The accused was expelled from the DMK in which he was an office bearer of the party’s NRI wing Chennai West district unit.
“We call upon you, as the Constitutional Head of the State, to take all steps that is possible including but not limited to taking necessary steps to address the complete breakdown of the Constitutional machinery in the state,” the AIADMK representation said.
