AIADMK General Secretary V K Sasikala today rejected as “falsehoods” the “reports” being spread by “rebels and rivals” that her party MLAs were held hostage at a resort near here. Flanked by some of the women party MLAs, Sasikala alleged they had received threats that their children would be abducted but they have asked their relatives to take care of them and continued to stay at the resort. I was moved…they (all the MLAs) are keen that there should be no impediment to AIADMK and the government,” she said. Alleging that those “who defected from us” and “our rivals” were spreading “falsehoods” that the MLAs were being held hostage, the AIADMK chief insisted that neither their free movement nor their freedom of expression have been hindered. On her next course of action, she said, “You are also here, wait and watch.”She earlier held detailed discussions with the MLAs at the resort.
