Chennai:
PMK leader S Ramadoss has said that the court should take up suo motu the issue of "excesses" by the ruling AIADMK in the name of agitations on the conviction of their leader J Jayalalithaa, in the disproportionate assets case.
Accusing the AIADMK of exceeding all limits and indulging in violent incidents to please the former Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, convicted in the disproportionate assets case, he said their actions had subjected the judiciary to ridicule.
In a statement, he said AIADMK ministers and MLAs, perhaps wanted the judiciary to be servile like them.
He said the matter of corrupt politicians being jailed and serving a jail term was not new in the country. Former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa was himself lodged in the same prison for 21 days. Former Bihar Chief Minister, Lalu Prasad, too spent 75 days in jail after he being convicted in the fodder scam. “These leaders and their party men approached higher courts for relief and never sought to mobilise public support in their favour. But in Tamil Nadu, there is an attempt to portray that Ms. Jayalalithaa is infallible,” he said.
He wanted courts to take suo motu the “excesses” of the AIADMK men and make them realise that their course of action was unacceptable.
