Palaniswami brushes aside Panneerselvam's appeal for unity

Panneerselvam describes EPS as his “dear brother”

A day after the Madras High Court declared the July 11 general council meeting of the AIADMK as void, the party’s joint coordinator (co-coordinator) Edappadi K. Palaniswami on August 18 dismissed the call for “unity” given by coordinator O. Panneerselvam.

Asked for comment to the appeal of Mr. Panneerselvam for coming together of all those who were in the party, Mr. Palaniswami replied: “He keeps on making such a call. He has invited even those against whom he launched ‘dharmayudham’ [a campaign run by Mr Panneerselvam against the perceived domination of the family of former interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala in the affairs of the party]. For him, power matters. He does not want to put in work but wants to enjoy the position of power.”
