AIADMK's Mask Controversy: Palaniswami vs Dhinakaran

AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami refuted TTV Dhinakaran's claims of concealing his face after meeting Amit Shah. Palaniswami insists he doesn't wear a 'mask,' countering Dhinakaran's criticisms. This exchange highlights internal party tensions, with calls for readmission of expelled leaders like O Panneerselvam.

In a fiery exchange, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has strongly refuted allegations made by TTV Dhinakaran, head of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), regarding a supposed 'mask' incident.

Palaniswami clarified that after visiting Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, he did not obscure his face and criticized Dhinakaran for his comments driven by 'ulterior motives'.

The accusation centers around claims that Palaniswami covered his face with a cloth to avoid recognition, which Dhinakaran ridiculed by suggesting Palaniswami be dubbed as 'mask' Palaniswami.
