Days after the feud in her extended family came to the fore, deposed AIADMK leader V K Sasikala, jailed aide of late J Jayalalithaa, has slapped a legal notice on her brother V Dhivakaran, asking him to desist from taking her name in his public utterances.
Sasikala issued the notice through her advocate, where she charged her sibling with speaking in support of AIADMK leaders, Chief Minister K Palaniswami and his deputy O Panneerselvam, who have fallen out of favour with her.
In the notice, her lawyer N Raja Senthoor Pandian said she had "great affection" towards her brother, but was taking this step with a "heavy heart."
In the notice dated May 9, Pandian said his client (Sasikala) was "pushed to a situation" where she was "forced to issue it with a "heavy heart" due to Dhivakaran's "present contradictory behaviour."
Pandian told Dhivakaran he was making certain public comments about Sasikala, which were contrary to facts and 'my client states you are doing this with an intention to satisfy someone."
