The Panneerselvam camp on Thursday discussed the developments in the ruling AIADMK party, which has decided to sideline Sasikala and Dinakaran and let a panel of leaders run the party.

Munusamy also asked the ruling AIADMK faction to withdraw the affidavit filed with the Election Commission naming Sasikala as General Secretary and Dinakaran as Deputy General Secretary post.



The Panneerselvam faction also urged the state government to send a formal request for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the death of the Late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.
