Former union minister for communication and IT Dayanidhi Maran has sent a legal notice to AIDMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) chief and former Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalitha, demanding an apology for her allegations. In his notice, Maran has sought a public apology from Jayalalitha, failing which he has threatened to file a defamation case demanding Rs 100 million as compensation.
Jayalalitha had, in an election rally, alleged that Maran had misused his position to help Sun TV, which is owned by his brother Kalanithi Maran, in uplinking of programmes through telephone lines. While addressing a rally in Virudhunagar, in Tamil Nadu, she claimed that the CBI enquiries were stymied after a patch up between the families of Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi and the Maran brothers.
Jayalalitha said that Maran had been given 323 telephone connections with latest technology, by which audio and video could be transmitted. He even had a telephone exchange in his house for official purpose. The telephones in his house had been linked secretly by an underground cable to Sun TV and it was used to send Sun TV programmes to various parts of the world, she claimed.
