CHENNAI: VK Sasikala was
discharged from Bengaluru hospital on Sunday morning and she sent out a strong political message by boarding the car used by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa with AIADMK flag. AIADMK leaders took strong exception to the use of party flag by Sasikala which revived a lot of discussions on her removal from the post of general secretary of the AIADMK and other issues.
Asked whether Sasikala could use the AIADMK flag, advocate Tamilmani told TNIE: “Sasikala’s petition challenging her removal as general secretary is pending before the court. Had she obtained an interim order that there would be no bar on her to use the AIADMK flag while filing this petition, now she can use the flag. Since she failed to do that, now she cannot use the party flag since she has been removed from the party. Besides, the Election Commission had approved the party headed by Edappadi K Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam as the AIADMK and gave the symbol too".
