AIADMK Sends Legal Notice to Tamil Nadu Minister Over Defamation Claims
The AIADMK has issued a legal notice to Tamil Nadu Minister CTR Nirmal Kumar, demanding a public apology, retraction of statements, and Rs 1 crore in damages for alleged defamation. The notice follows the minister's remarks accusing AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami of converting the party into a private entity to protect personal assets. AIADMK contends these claims harm its reputation and has given the minister seven days to comply before pursuing legal action.
