CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary and the Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami filed a defamation case against Youth Welfare and Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin for derogatory remarks and dropping his (EPS) name in connection with Kodanad heist-cum murder case.
EPS contends that the statement released by Udhayanidhi Stalin on September 7 countering Sanatana Dharma row, contains defaming words used against him in connection with the Kodanad murder case in a motive to taint his image. EPS also sought to issue a gag order on Udhayanidhi Stalin to prohibit him from commenting on him (EPS) and demanded Rs 1.10 crore for defaming his image.
To explain his stand regarding his recent remarks on Sanatana Dharma speech, Udhayanidhi Stalin released a statement on September 7. In that statement, Udhayanidhi also mentioned EPS’s name and said that he (EPS) cannot hide himself long in the goat’s beard hoping to escape the Kodanad heist-cum-murder case. Further, he also wrote that EPS should remember what will happen if the goat disappears one day.
Aggrieved by his comments EPS filed a defamation case against the Minister and the scion of the DMK.
