Palaniswami, Dhinakaran assail Tiruchi Siva’s comments on Kamaraj

Wait 5 sec.

The AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday condemned the ruling party’s Member of Parliament Tiruchi N. Siva for his remarks on former Chief Minister K. Kamaraj.In a post on his social media handle, Mr Palaniswami wondered whether the DMK was not resorting to “cheap politics” by creating such a controversy and trying to suppress the fame of the former Chief Minister, against whom the DMK had been having “malice.”Separately, the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) founder T.T.V. Dhinakaran observed that people of the State would “never accept” the DMK’s “political antagonism” towards Kamaraj, who had all along remained an independent-minded person and retained his identity, apart from teaching others the quality of respecting members of different parties.Published - July 17, 2025 06:29 pm IST
