New Delhi: The Madras high court on Monday gave its approval for the AIADMK general council meeting to be held today. In a setback for AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam (OPS), rival leader Edappady K Palaniswami, also known as EPS, was today elevated as the interim general secretary of the party in a crucial meeting by the court, abolishing the present dual leadership model.
The meeting chaired by presidium chairman A Tamil Mahan Hussain commenced at around 9.15 am after a go-ahead from the Madras High Court. The court rejected a plea filed by OPS seeking a stay on the meeting called by the faction led by Edappady K Palaniswami.
Palaniswami (EPS) and his predecessor O. Panneerselvam (OPS) are locked in an intense tussle for unitary leadership of the All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). With the HC’s decision, Palaniswami is likely to take over the reins of the party.
Supporters of both factions were seen on camera throwing stones at each other outside the party headquarters in Chennai this morning ahead of the high court verdict. Visuals also showed some people damaging vehicles parked nearby. Hence, on behalf of the AIADMK party HQ, a complaint has been lodged against OPS and his supporters.
