A complaint of criminal defamation has been filed in the court of the Principal Sessions Judge here against P.Nedumaran, president, Ulaga Tamizhar Peramaippu (UTP), for allegedly defaming Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.
In his complaint, City Public Prosecutor M. Shahjahan stated that Mr. Nedumaran issued a statement, which was published on April 17, as though the Chief Minister was indulging in malpractice between the dates of polling and announcement of results of the Assembly elections.
Even without understanding the basic concept of administration, Mr. Nedumaran made the remark only to defame Mr. Karunanidhi.
