Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay summoned party legislators to Chennai to address scrutiny regarding the conduct of certain MLAs.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founder C Joseph Vijay has called an emergency consultative meeting of his party's legislators in Chennai on November 11. The meeting will be held at the TVK headquarters in Panaiyur and chaired by Vijay, according to reports from Moneycontrol and India Today.
The high-level session will include party general secretary and Minister N Anand along with other senior leaders. The leadership aims to issue strict instructions to MLAs and party functionaries regarding discipline and public behaviour to ensure they remain dignified and responsive to citizens without misusing their power.
The meeting follows political pressure regarding the conduct of several legislators. It will address allegations against Deputy Speaker M Ravisankar, who faced criticism after a resident, Karthik Kumar, questioned him on civic matters. The party is also conducting an internal inquiry into an unverified complaint about messages sent by an MLA to a government official.
Kallakurichi MLA C Arul Vignesh denied allegations of sending inappropriate WhatsApp messages to the Kallakurichi collector, calling them untrue rumours. However, AIADMK treasurer Dindigul Srinivasan claimed the legislator visited the collector's house in an inebriated state to harass her.
DMK president M K Stalin criticised the six-month-old government, stating that law and order in the state is in an ICU. Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin also called for the Chief Minister to take immediate action against erring MLAs.
AMMK general secretary T T V Dhinakaran alleged that the TVK leadership has ignored serious accusations, including sexual harassment and kidnapping. He requested a detailed investigation into the complaints regarding the messages sent to the collector.
