VILLUPURAM: PMK founder S Ramadoss has alleged that a group of individuals expelled from the party are attempting to force him out of politics through the propagation of false narratives. He further alleged that these individuals have been targeting him and senior leader GK Mani with "abusive language". The Pattali Makkah Katchi (PMK) founder also raised concerns regarding the Election Commission of India's handling of the party's Mango symbol. The internal rift in the PMK intensified last year following the expulsion of Anbumani Ramadoss from the party's primary membership for alleged anti-party activities. The veteran leader asserted that he would continue to fight against those attempting to weaken the party through misinformation.
