TN: Panneerselvam camp meets CoP again on staging fast

The faction sought to hold a one-day fast seeking a probe into the demise of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

Chennai: The O Panneerselvam faction on Monday met Greater Chennai Police Commissioner S George for the second time, seeking permission to observe a one-day fast here, part of their March 8 state-wide stir in district capitals, seeking an independent probe into the demise of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa

"Since only two more days are left, we came here to remind him again", former AIADMK Minister K P Munuswamy told reporters after presenting a memorandum to the Commissioner.

On February 28, the Panneerselvam's faction, led by AIADMK Party Presidium Chairman E Madhusudhanan, said it would observe a one day fast in all district capitals across Tamil Nadu on March 8, seeking an independent probe into the demise of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

"The silence maintained by the Tamil Nadu government on the issue has caused worry to the people of the state and to the true loyalists of Amma (J Jayalalithaa)," he had said.

Madhusudhanan had also met the Commissioner, seeking permission to conduct the agitation in a peaceful manner.
