The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) adopted a strong resolution on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, sharply criticizing the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government for its handling of the Thirupparankundram Karthigai Deepam row and accusing it of undermining judicial authority. The resolution was passed during the party’s executive and general council meeting held in Chennai.
The meeting, attended by over 5,000 party functionaries including executive members, council members, former ministers, and district leaders, saw AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami preside over the proceedings.
The central resolution focused squarely on the Thiruparankundram issue, where the state government has been involved in legal proceedings. The AIADMK accused the DMK regime of “challenging court directives” and deliberately defying judicial orders.
“The resolution specifically condemned the DMK regime for challenging court directives in the Thiruparankundram matter, questioning if the government was undermining judicial authority,” stated the party’s official communication. It demanded the upholding of the rule of law and stressed the imperative of protecting the independence of the judiciary from executive overreach.
In a pointed critique of governance, the resolution also highlighted concerns over the “misuse of public funds” through frequent appeals in court cases, implying that the state government is wasting taxpayer money to pursue legally questionable positions. It called for impartial and lawful administration.
While the meeting also covered political strategies for the 2026 assembly elections, including the formalization of an alliance with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and declaring Edappadi K Palaniswami as the chief ministerial candidate, the condemnation of the DMK’s approach to the Thirupparankundram case remained a key highlight of the party’s political messaging.
