‘Will be at Kamalalayam only, arrest me if you have proof and guts’: BJP TN chief Annamalai challenges DMK

BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai dared the DMK to arrest him if possible within six hours while addresing a press meet on Tuesday (March 29) at the party’s head quarters in Chennai.

Responding to the legal notice sent by DMK MP R.S. Bharathi for allegedly “blackmailing and extorting money” from former AIADMK ministers, he said, “If the DMK had proof and guts, you should send the whole Tamil Nadu police to arrest me. I will be here at Kamalalayam till 6.15 p.m. Otherwise, the people of Tamil Nadu will not take you seriously”.

The BJP leader said that he would not hide behind defamation notices adding that he was ready to face a thousand more.

He also pointed out that RS Bharathi had no locus standi to send legal notice to him and only CM Stalin or the Advocate General could do so as per the CrPC.

Commenting on CM Stalin’s Dubai visit, Mr. Annamalai said that MK Stalin and his son in law Sabareesan had gone to invest 5,000 crores of illegal investment in Dubai.

He questioned the presence of Stalin’s personal auditor who had reportedly flew in a private chartered jet back in February 2022.
