The controversial DMK platform speaker, Shivaji Krishnamurthy, was expelled from the party and arrested in Chennai on Sunday for making abusive comments at a public meeting against Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi, BJP State president K. Annamalai and functionary Khushbu Sundar.
In a statement, DMK general secretary Duraimurugan said Mr. Krishnamurthy was “permanently expelled” from the party for violating organisational discipline.
