The proposal to create the post of interim general secretary and the absence of commendation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi are the highlights of the agenda of the meeting of the AIADMK’s general council scheduled for July 11.
A perusal of the agendas of the upcoming meeting and the June 23 meeting reveals that while the first item — creation of the post of interim general secretary — is an addition, the second — laudatory reference to the Prime Minister — is an omission. One of the 23 resolutions rejected at the last month’s general council meeting pertained to the commendation of Mr. Modi for the manner in which the COVID-19 vaccination programme was implemented nationwide.
A former Minister, who was part of the team that drafted resolutions for the July 11 meeting, says the proposed motion on the post of the interim general secretary will have to be read along with four other draft resolutions that deal with the revocation of the posts of coordinator and co-coordinator and the election of treasurer by the primary members; the election of the interim general secretary; the announcement of the election for the post of general secretary; and the state of affairs in the party.
