NEW DELHI: AIADMK<\/a> general secretary Edapaddi K Palaniswami on Saturday announced that if the party comes to power following the Tamil Nadu assembly elections on April 23, his government would investigate a viral video in which senior DMK<\/a> leader A Raja allegedly claimed that chief minister and DMK supremo MK Stalin kept his late father, M Karunanidhi, under \u201chouse arrest\u201d during the DMK veteran’s final days. Palaniswami insisted that Stalin should direct his anger at Raja, not at him. \u201cMr. Stalin, don\u2019t vent your anger on me. Direct it at your deputy general secretary and former Union minister A Raja, who released the audio that went viral. I was only reporting what Raja disclosed in his message. Why get annoyed? Show your anger at Raja, and he will tell the truth. There\u2019s no point in taking it out on me,\u201d the ex-Tamil Nadu chief minister told supporters at an election rally in Arani, Tiruvannamalai district. He further claimed that Stalin\u2019s elder brother and former Union minister MK Alagiri had previously stated that \u201cmy father is being held as a prisoner.\u201d \u201cI had only repeated what Raja disclosed. Is it fair to confine your own father, who made you the working president of DMK, to his house during his last days? Your elder brother Alagiri had said that his father was being held as a prisoner,\u201d Palaniswami added. Recalling Stalin\u2019s announcement ahead of the 2021 assembly elections to order a probe into the 2016 death of AIADMK stalwart and former chief minister J Jayalalithaa and her 75-day hospitalisation, Palaniswami remarked, \u201cYou said you would probe the former chief minister’s demise. Karunanidhi was also a former chief minister. The AIADMK will initiate a state-led inquiry into Raja\u2019s audio and take appropriate legal action.\u201d Responding to the allegations, Stalin dismissed them as \u201cbaseless and offensive\u201d and cautioned Palaniswami to focus his criticism on the chief minister\u2019s performance. He emphasised that Karunanidhi was resting due to age-related ailments and accused Palaniswami of having \u201ccrossed all red lines.\u201d The counting of votes for all 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu is scheduled for May 4.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
