The deposed AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla requesting him to “repudiate” representations made by the party regarding the status of Theni MP and his son, P. Ravindhranath, in the light of proceedings before the Supreme Court, Madras High Court and the Election Commission regarding inner party developments.
In a letter written on July 20, Mr. Panneerselvam asserted that the position of interim general secretary, held by Edappadi K. Palaniswami, who had issued a notice for the MP, was “non-existent and invalid.”
Referring to the general council meeting of the party held on July 11, he said he had “expelled”, from the primary membership of the party, those who acted against norms and regulations of the organisation. The “anti-party activities” of the members and “unlawful/illegitimate” meetings and events had been reported to the Election Commission, apart from having been challenged in the Supreme Court and the High Court, where the cases were pending, Mr. Panneerselvam added.
