OPS faction hails EC rejecting reply on Sasikala's elevation

March 04, 2017 16:21

The O Panneerselvam faction today welcomed the Election Commission rejecting AIADMK's response on the election of V K Sasikala as its General Secretary as the letter was signed by her nephew T T V Dinakaran, saying it was their "first victory."

"This is a victory for justice. It is our first victory," Panneerselvam aide and former minister K Pandiarajan said.

The Election Commission had yesterday rejected the response of the AIADMK on the elevation of Sasikala, saying Dinakaran, who signed the letter, was not in its list of party office bearers.

The EC had asked Sasikala to either sign the response herself or by an authorised signatory who is in the Commission's list of AIADMK office bearers and send it again

by March 10.

"... Dinakaran (Sasikala's nephew, who was hurriedly reinducted into the party and nominated AIADMK deputy general secretary) is not an office bearer of your party as per the Commission's record... The reply should either be submitted under your own signature or you may duly authorise somebody to do so on your behalf," EC had said.
