The hearing was held today for the 5th day in the Supreme Court regarding the issue of AIADMK General Committee. The judge raised questions about the dual leadership.
How are coordinator and co-convener selected for AIADMK? They questioned that. Are the coordinator and co-coordinator elected by election? The judges questioned.
For this, the Coordinator and Co-Coordinator were elected unopposed. On July 11, the General Committee meeting was held as per the rules of the party. It is not true that OBS claims that it has the support of the core members of the party.
OPS was elected unopposed as the convener and not elected by the 1.5 crore members. It was argued on behalf of the AIADMK party that the general body which created the post of coordinator and co-coordinator has abolished them.
Further, the contention that the general body which created the posts of coordinator and co-coordinator can remove them is wrong.
The OPS argued that the convenor and co-convenor jointly announced the election for the party’s internal posts.
In 2017, during the extraordinary circumstances, the General Assembly met and created the posts of Coordinator and Co-Coordinator.
They forgot that the Chairman has no power to call the General Assembly meeting. It was contended that the notice served on 1st July was not notice.
The judges adjourned the verdict without specifying a date as the trial concluded. They also directed to submit written arguments by January 16.
