Stalin defends seeking stay on building probe, hits out at CM

DMK president M K Stalin Thursday defended his party obtaining court stay against the probe into alleged irregularities in the construction of a building complex during his party's rule to house the secretariat, saying the allegations were fabricated.

A day after Chief Minister K Palaniswami hit out at DMK for obtaining a stay from the Madras High Court, Stalin claimed there were no corruption allegations, not even irregularities in the construction.

"They (AIADMK government) said it was excessive expenditure. These allegations are fabricated," he said.

It was their right to approach the court and since "justice," was on their side, the court had granted a stay, Stalin said.

The DMK leader, addressing a party event at Madurantakam near here, however, said his party was ready to face any case on the matter
