Party Turmoil: Leadership Struggles Shake PMK

PMK advocate K Balu opposes police protection for legislator R Arul, who was attacked allegedly by supporters of party leader Anbumani Ramadoss. Arul claims Anbumani aims to lead PMK by undermining founder Dr S Ramadoss. Following the attack, security measures for Arul are heightened, despite Balu's objections.

In a dramatic twist of events, PMK advocate K Balu has vocally opposed the police protection granted to legislator R Arul following an alleged assault by supporters of party leader Anbumani Ramadoss.

Arul, a loyalist of senior leader S Ramadoss, claims that Anbumani aims to seize control of the PMK helm by discrediting its founding figure.

Balu has lodged a petition seeking action against Arul, labeling him as a provocateur on social media, and has called for his detention under the Goondas Act, arguing that Arul is undeserving of police protection.
