It was Palaniswami's first meet since he became the Opposition Leader of the state assembly. However, his first meet had showered a strong light that the party is still exercising a political divide.
The reports say that the government bungalow, in which Panneerselvam was residing, has now been allocated to Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.
Manikandan has been absconding for the past few days in view of evading the arrest from the Chennai police in connection to the sexual harassment case filed against him.
Panneerselvam has been lauding the Chief Minister for his efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and appealing to the people to adhere to the guidelines issued by the government.
It has been reported that the former ADMK Minister has been at large since the complaint was filed against him under sections of rape, cheating, and criminal intimidation.
He was serving as the minister from 2016 to 2019 and he was removed from the cabinet by Jayalalithaa's successor Edappadi Palaniswami after he dissented against the latter.
In her complaint, the actress had alleged that the former minister had refused to marry her after living together for five years. She shockingly said that Manikandan had made her pregnant.
Her primary membership with the party has been repealed and the leaders have directed the party cadres not to exercise contact with the expelled leader.
