Bottles were hurled at the AIADMK coordinator Panneerselvam during the general council meeting. A faction led by Panneerselvam has been opposed to the idea of a single leadership for the party.
Chaos erupted at the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) general council meeting on Thursday when some workers hurled water bottles at senior leader O Panneerselvam (OPS).
The video of the incident showed bottles being thrown at OPS when he was about to leave the dais. It almost fell on his Personal Security Officer who extended his arms around the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to protect him.
