Explanation

A position tussle between EPS and OPS in the AIADMK led to violence among their supporters. As a result, the AIADMK office was locked and sealed. Now the AIADMK is in a place to recover the office.

In this case, a Junior Vikatan news card is viral claiming that Edappadi Palaniswami, who was announced as the Interim General Secretary of AIADMK, has said that if OPS wants to disable the ‘rettai ilai’ symbol and take over the party, they will win by standing on the lotus symbol.

What is the truth?

In the viral news card, it is evident that the part that mentions “If necessary we will compete in the lotus symbol. If brother OPS wants to take over the party by disabling the ‘rettai ilai’ symbol, we will stand in the lotus symbol and win”, has been edited. Also, the news card does not feature the Junior Vikatan watermark.

In this regard, while searching the Junior Vikatan Facebook page, it was found that no news card has been published about Edappadi Palaniswami on July 12. Junior Vikatan’s news card has been edited with fake news.

Conclusion

The claim “If necessary, we will compete in the lotus symbol. If brother OPS wants to take over the party by disabling the ‘rettai ilai’ symbol, we will win by standing on the lotus symbol. No one can stop our success – Edappadi Palaniswami” is fake.
