Meanwhile, when asked about the remark made by Panneerselvam that “The AIADMK (Amma) had only come half way through..let them come across fully,” Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, M Thambidurai quipped: “By his own statement, Panneerselvam has admitted that AIADMK (Amma) had come half way through...so if Panneerselvam too makes a move to cross the rest of the half way, it will conclude in the merger.”
