The former minister lashed out at CM MK Stalin and said “Why they have not given additional protection to us? Whether he was going to give protection from his father’s money or the corruption money he has looted?” This was the first state conference of the AIADMK after Edappadi K Palaniswami was sworn in as general secretary of of the party after he prevailed in the protracted power tussle with former CM O Panneerselvam.
D. Jayakumar also mentioned that because of political instructions, the police did not provide protection to the party conference.
“Surely due to the political instruction, they (police department) have not given additional protection for the AIADMK conference. This will be done by MK Stalin only,” the AIADMK leader said.
We have asked the additional protection, a petition was filed in the Madras High court and the court has given directions to provide additional protection, but they didn’t obey the direction of the High court,” he added.
A huge crowd of AIADMK workers could be seen gathered during the hoisting of the party flag.
The decision to hold a conference in Madurai was taken after a resolution was passed at the executive committee meeting of the party held on April 16 in Chennai.
Madurai has also been chosen as the venue for the state conference to disprove the allegation that the AIADMK has weakened in South Tamil Nadu after the removal of the former CM, O. Panneerselvam, from the party.
