Rajya Sabha member M. Sasikala Pushpa on Monday said she would not resign her post despite her expulsion from the AIADMK party.

Speaking to reporters here, she categorically ruled out quitting the Rajya Sabha.

She arrived here from Singapore and was enroute to Madurai to appear before the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court in a case of sexual harassment filed against her family by two maids who had worked at her house.

The apex court recently ordered that Pushpa should not be arrested for six weeks in connection with the case.

She was expelled from the AIADMK for slapping DMK Rajya Sabha member Trichy Siva at the Delhi airport.
