**CHENNAI, June 21, 2025** – The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) political rivalry has intensified as the AIADMK IT Wing lodged a formal complaint with the Greater Chennai Police Commissionerate on Friday against the DMK IT Wing.

M. Sathyan Sunderarajan, also known as Kovai Sathyan, the State President of the AIADMK IT Wing and a party spokesperson, presented the petition, alleging that the DMK IT Wing deliberately engaged in a defamatory campaign against Mr. Palaniswami through a critical cartoon post published on June 17.

According to Mr. Satyan, the AIADMK believes the DMK’s actions constitute a repeated and intentional effort to damage Mr. Palaniswami’s reputation through social media circulation.
The AIADMK IT Wing is urging the police to register a case under Sections 356 (Criminal Defamation) and 352 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The complaint marks the latest development in the ongoing political tensions between the two major parties in Tamil Nadu.
