AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami warned his party would not let any of the DMK ministers facing corruption accusations go free.
Mr. Palaniswami stated at his party's golden jubilee conference that 13 former DMK ministers were facing corruption allegations after the former AIADMK government led by Jayalalithaa filed cases against them.
“The DMK leaders had been delaying the hearings for the past 13 years by getting adjournments. But now that the DMK is in power in the State, they have appointed party advocates as government pleaders for those cases, and are trying to close the cases in a hurry,” he said.
Recalling that a few DMK Ministers had got acquitted in disproportionate assets cases in recent times, the Leader of the Opposition said the AIADMK will not allow them to go scot-free.
“We will fight the cases and take them all the way to the Supreme Court,” he said.
"We will fight the cases all the way to the Supreme Court," he stated.
Despite the fact that Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy received a clean chit in one such case from a lower court, Mr. Palaniswami said the High Court had taken up the matter on its own, raising concerns about the manner in which the case was handled.
