AIADMK General Council meet on 12 September, likely to oust Sasikala

As the ongoing political crisis in Tamil Nadu continues, Chief Minister E Palanisamy has called for a General Council meeting on September 12 where a resolution to oust Sasikala Natarajan and TTV Dinakaran will be adopted.

An AIADMK statement, which had the names of both Amma and O Panneerselvam-led Puratchi Thalaivi Amma, said that the general council and executive meeting, the party's top decision making body, would be held at a marriage hall near Chennai at 10.35 am.

It did not divulge details of the agenda to be taken up, but came within hours after a Palaniswami-led meeting of senior leaders, including ministers, decided to convene the General Council.

The expulsion of Sasikala had been the main demand of the OPS camp prior to the formal merger of the two factions on August 21.

The meeting will be presided over by party presidium chairman E Madhusudhanan, the release said.

On Sunday, DMK pressed for a floor test once again while Dinakaran removed Palanisamy from party office bearer post. He has systematically removed all members of the Palanisamy- Panneerselvam camp from all party posts.
