"Stalin has been tight-lipped ever since the involvement of DMK functionary and international drug lord Jaffer Sadiq made the news. After Jaffer Sadiq's arrest by the NCB and his nexus is being investigated, Stalin has sent a legal notice to me asking us to refrain from discussing this matter further, " he said and wonderred whether CM Stalin was watching news or not.

Citing social media posts and videos of Annamalai and EPS, the defamation suit stated that the two leaders alleged that Stalin was involved in the distribution of contraband, such as Pseudoephedrine, by aiding drug peddlers.
