PMK flays Stalin over trust remark
Chennai: The PMK has condemned DMK president MK Stalin for his comments that PMK founder-leader Dr S Ramadoss has transferred the assets of the Vanniyar Educational Trust in his wife’s name. Referring to charges Stalin levelled on Monday, Dr Ramadoss said it was unbecoming of Stalin. “I have been serving as founder of the trust. No one, except the members can interfere in the trust’s activities. My wife is not a member of the trust,” he said. “If Stalin proves that I have transferred assets of Vanniyar Educational Trust to my wife, I am ready to retire from public life. Will he quit public life if he fails to prove his allegation?” said Dr. Ramadoss.
