Chennai: Sidelined AIADMK leader T T V Dhinakaran on Wednesday alleged that a section of media was making a "big issue" out of the recent IT raids at J Jayalalithaa's residence here last week and claimed that officials recovered only a laptop and a couple of pen drives.
Veda Nilayam, the Poes Garden residence of the late AIADMK supremo, was not "controlled" by anyone, as only some staff of the former chief minister stayed there, he said.
"They (Income Tax sleuths) recovered an old laptop and four or five pen drives. A section of media made a big issue out of it," he told reporters here.
He also slammed Chief Minister K Palaniswami's camp, saying though the latter's government had announced that Veda Nilayam would be converted into a memorial, none of the ministers arrived at the spot when I-T sleuths raided it on November 17.
Two rooms have been sealed by the tax authorities, he claimed.
