Chennai: The unified AIADMK on Monday lashed out at deposed party leader V K Sasikala's brother V Divakaran for his comments on late chief minister J Jayalalithaa, saying he was not qualified to "criticise" her.
Senior party leader and fisheries minister D Jayakumar took strong exception to Divakaran's remarks that Jayalalithaa did not ensure any "protection" to Sasikala, who was her close aide.
He slammed the Sasikala family as an "embodiment of opportunism".
"Divakaran has no qualification to criticise Amma...(TTV) Dhinakaran (sidelined AIADMK leader) is also reported to have made some remarks against Amma. History will not forgive them," he told reporters here.
Days after Income Tax sleuths raided premises linked to the family of the jailed Sasikala, Divakaran said on Saturday that Jayalalithaa did not ensure any "protection" to his sister. "Amma (Jayalalithaa) utilised her fully, but went (died) without giving her any protection," he said without elaborating.
