Tamil Nadu minister Senthil Balaji underwent Coronary Angiogram on Wednesday at the Omandurar government hospital in Chennai, informed the hospital officials.
A condemnation resolution has been passed against K Annamalai where he was quoted by an English daily, tainting the name of our leader Jayalalithaa. Our party leaders and cadres are sad and restless, Tamil Nadu Leader of Opposition and AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said.
"The procedure adopted by Enforcement Directorate is totally illegal and unconstitutional. He was taken into custody by ED without informing him of the grounds of his arrest. We will fight this case legally," said DMK MP and advocate, NR Elango while talking to the reporters.
"Senthil Balaji was targeted and tortured. ED kept questioning him continuously for 24 hours. This is totally against human rights," the state Law Minister said adding that the probe agency has to answer to the people and in court.
DMK minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said, "Senthil Balaji is undergoing treatment. We will deal with it legally. We are not afraid of the threatening politics of the BJP-led central government".
The Chief Minister said that "over dozens" of cases of dynasty politics are available in BJP and the party should think before pointing fingers at others.
The action came after ED sleuths concluded their day-long raids at the DMK leader's Karur residence and his office at the state secretariat in connection to an alleged money laundering case.
"BJP's misuse of central agencies to harass and intimidate the opposition continues unabated. Strongly condemn the ED raids against Thiru V Senthil Balaji, Tamil Nadu's Electricity Minister. Blinded by political vendetta, the BJP is causing irreversible damage to our democracy," said Delhi's
