AIADMK expelled coordinator O. Panneerselvam and AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Monday met and decided to have a “working arrangement” between their groups to “defeat betrayers, and the common adversary, the DMK.”
This would be similar to what the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the CPI (Marxist) had been having, according to former Minister Panruti S. Ramachandran, who is the political affairs advisor of the group headed by Mr. Panneerselvam. The move was aimed at “rescuing the AIADMK from the clutches of those who had nothing to do” with the fundamentals of the organisation, said Mr. Dhinakaran and Mr. Ramachandran at an interaction with journalists.
This was the highlight of the meeting that took place at the residence of Mr. Dhinakaran in Adyar, Chennai, wherein Mr. Panneerselvam, Mr. Ramachandran, former MP, S.P.M. Syed Khan, and the AMMK deputy general secretary and former Minister, G. Senthamizhan were among those present.
