Hello
The court issued the order against the expelled AIADMK member while considering a plea of a voter from Theni Lok Sabha constituency.
EPS thanked his supporters for his elevation. Many jubilant leaders of the main opposition party said his elevation would enable him to steer the AIADMK towards better days.
The resolution accused Panneerselvam of siding with the DMK regime and having ties with the ruling party leaders and working to weaken the AIADMK.
The meet, which stuck to the only demand of making EPS the supreme party leader, turned out to be a full show of strength of the Palaniswami camp with OPS followers heavily outnumbered.
City Civil Court IV Additional Judge J Sridevi upheld the resolution, while dismissing an application from Sasikala challenging the same.
The party coordinator's remark, which virtually reversed the party's official line, has given rise to opposition with senior leader D Jayakumar stating that it was Panneerselvam who had launched a 'Dharma Yudham' against Sasikala and her clan in 2017.
Vijayalakshmi had an attack when she was set to be discharged on Wednesday as she recovered following 10 days of treatment, according to a statement by the hospital.
Party co-coordinator Palaniswami announced constitution of a 11-member steering committee which includes Ministers Dindigul C Sreenivasan, P Thangamani, and S P Velumani.
