After the AIADMK General Council Edappadi Palaniswami took control of the party as its interim general secretary. Former Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister O Paneerselvam was on Monday expelled from all party posts.
The resolution accused Panneerselvam of siding with the DMK regime and having ties with the ruling party leaders and working to weaken the AIADMK. OPS acted against the party interests, its goals and principles. He took steps including approaching police to stall the June 23 General Council meet, which was jointly convened by him along with Palaniswami.
Reacting to the General Council move, O Panneerselvam or OPS as he is known was quoted by ANI as saying, General Council expelling me isn’t valid…We will take legal action according to law. They don’t have the right to remove me.
AIADMK passed a resolution at E Palaniswami-led Gen Council meet in Vanagaram, Tamil Nadu, to remove OPS from party’s primary membership.
I have been elected (as party coordinator) by 1.5 crore cadres of our party. As per law, we will challenge it in Court. I will meet the cadres and seek justice OPS told ANI.
