Chennai: Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam deputy general secretary T T V Dhinakaran who recently claimed that deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam met him, today opened another can of worms by saying that Health Minister C Vijayabaskar too spoke to him.
Addressing mediapersons in Tiruchi, Dhinakaran said Vijayabaskar met him during a morning walk. Dhinakaran had recently said that Panneerselvam met him in July 2017 ahead of the merger of the Palaniswami and Panneerselvam factions.
On the arrest of Nakkheeran editor R Gopal, Dhinakaran said he welcomed the arrest of the journalist. “Publishing news without any proof is not right,” he said.
