Ahead of the Supreme Court's verdict on All India Anna Dravida Munnetra
Kazagham general secretary VK Sasikala in the
disproportionate assets case, GS Mani, the lawyer for Satta Panchayat
Iyakkam, on Tuesday said if the court convicts Sasikala, she'll lose
everything.
"If the court convicts Sasikala even for a minimum period of one year, she will legally lose the Chief Minister post because she will suffer the disqualification as per the provision under the Constitution and per the law laid by the Supreme Court. As she is not the member of the legislative assembly, she does not fulfill the qualification. There is no doubt if the court convicts her she will lose everything," Mani said.
"We expect that the Supreme Court will give good judgement because people's money has been looted by those in power. So, they should be punished and they should be sent to jail. We are expecting that," he added.
