The Madras High Court upheld the Tamil Nadu Speaker’s decision of disqualification of 18 All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) for rebellion against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami a year back. The MLAs led by TTV Dhinakaran were ousted from AIADMK for ‘anti-party activities’. After the verdict, Dhinakaran said, “It is not a setback for us. This is an experience, we will face the situation”. “Future course of action will be decided after meeting with the 18 MLAs”, he added.
