AIADMK holds state-wide protest, demands withdrawal of case against EPS
Tamil Nadu's principal opposition AIADMK on Monday staged state-wide protest demanding that the ruling DMK regime 'withdraw the false case' against party interim chief Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS).
Former Ministers Sellur K Raju, R B Udhayakumar and AIADMK organising secretary V V Rajan Chellappa led a protest in southern Madurai condemning the DMK government.
Leader of Opposition and AIADMK interim general secretary EPS's name was included by police in an FIR registered in connection with an incident in which a man was allegedly beaten up by party workers after he shouted slogans against Palaniswami on March 11.
Addressing party workers, Udhayakumar slammed Chief Minister M K Stalin as a "doll CM" who was only inaugurating schemes initiated by Palaniswami.
Hitting out at Stalin as an "autocrat," he slammed the DMK regime for filing false case against EPS.
"AIADMK workers do not hesitate to go to jail (to protest against the government), this protest is only a trailer," he said.
