Leaders of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) on Wednesday called on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at his residence and urged him to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the Karnataka High Court judgment acquitting former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in the disproportionate assets case.
PMK leader G.K. Mani and PMK Advocate’s Wing president Balu met Mr. Siddaramaiah and submitted a memorandum signed by the founder leader S. Ramadoss.
The memorandum stated “this is a very serious matter and an extremely sensitive case. Under the strength of this flawed judgment, Ms. Jayalalithaa is hurriedly trying to assume the office of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and it will cause incalculable injustice and harm to the people. It will also make a mockery of justice”.
The memorandum singed by Dr. Ramadoss said: “I strongly believe that the Karnataka government should immediately initiate the appeal process and obtain stay of the order before any further damage is done to the cause of justice.”
Mr. Siddaramaiah assured the leaders that he would look into their demands.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the State government has got nothing to do with either the DMK or the AIADMK, and it will take a “legal decision” soon on filing the appeal in the Supreme Court.
