Chennai, Dec 29 (IBNS) : Sacked All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Sasikala Pushpas husband Lingeswara Thilagan was arrested on Thursday police for creating ruckus outside the AIADMK headquarters, News18 reported.

The incident took place  a day after Thilagan and Pushpa’s lawyer were attacked allegedly by AIADMK workers outside the party headquarters. 

Clashes broke out on Wednesday when Thilagan along with Pushpa’s team of lawyers attempted to enter the AIADMK headquarters to submit her nomination papers for the post of party’s General Secretary, the report said.

The party on Thursday passed a resolution to “work under the leadership” of J Jayalalithaa’s aide Sasikala Natarajan at the general council meeting, a move Pushpa has been opposing. 

On December 22, Pushpa had announced that she would contest for the post of AIADMK’s General Secretary.

 She had moved the Madras High Court on December 16 requesting against the selection of Natarajan as General Secretary.
