The Madras High Court gave a go ahead for the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) general council meet scheduled in Chennai on Monday, July 11, 2022 to abolish the posts of cordinator and joint coordinator and instead elect an interim general secretary.
Justice Krishnan Ramasamy dismissed applications filed by party leader O. Panneerselvam and general council member P. Vairamuthu alias 'Amman' Vairamuthu to injunct the party from conducting the meet. The order was passed at 9 am, shortly before the meet was slated to commence.
Mr. Panneerselvam had filed the application, along with his civil suit, by asserting that he continues to be the coordinator of the party and that his tenure would come to an end only after five years from December 6, 2021 when he got elected unopposed to the post along with joint coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami.
