VILLUPURAM: Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Dr Anbumani Ramadoss met his father and party founder Dr S Ramadoss at his residence in Thailapuram near Tindivanam, on Thursday morning, after a public showdown between the two over party leadership and management.
The meeting lasted for about 45 minutes. Anbumani arrived at the residence along with his younger daughter, Sanjuthra. In the meantime, Ramadoss's elder daughter P Gandhimathi, also arrived at the spot when Anbumani was meeting his parents. Soon after Gandhimathi's arrival, Anbumani left the premises, sources said.
Gandhimathi's son P Mukundan, was recently appointed as PMK youth wing president and is said to have resigned from the post a week ago.
Anbumani did not address the media after the meeting.
In a separate development, editor of the Tamil political weekly magazine Thuglak and auditor S Gurumurthy and former Chennai Corporation mayor Saidai S Duraisamy visited the Thailapuram residence later in the day. A meeting with Ramadoss was reportedly underway at the location.
Amid ongoing internal disagreements, expectations have emerged among party cadre on whether the meeting would go towards resolving the differences between father and son. However, sources said that the meeting between Anbumani and Ramadoss was related to family affairs and not related to the party.
