Chennai sources stated that the war between actor cum politician Karunas and the AIADMK Government intensified with the former seeking the removal of Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal and the state police swooping on his residence here to make a pre-dawn arrest on Wednesday. As per report while Karunas got himself admitted in the ICU of a private hospital claiming chest pain, the government told the High Court Bench at Madurai there was no plan to arrest him.
Meanwhile in his two page letter sent to the Assembly secretary K Srinivasan, Mukkalathor Puli Padai leader Karunas, who was elected from Tiruvadanai constituency under the AIADMK’s ‘two leaves’ symbol in the 2016 polls, said he intended to move a resolution in the House seeking to remove the Speaker by invoking Rule 68 of the TN Legislative Assembly Rules under Art 179 (C) of the Constitution by giving 14-day notice period.
Furthermore as per report it was stated that Karunas in his letter also
accused Speaker Dhanapal of acting in a biased manner. Moreover the letter was
delivered by his lawyers and a copy of the letter was sent to the Speaker.
