Jayalalithaa's death unnatural : Senior AIADMK leader drops bombshell, demands probe against Sasikala

Chennai, Feb 7 (IBNS) : Making shocking claims, former Tamil Nadu Speaker P H Pandian has termed late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's death as "unnatural" and demanded an investigation into the conduct of her chief aide Sasikala, who is now tipped to be the Chief Minister, reports said.

"She was depressed. She collapsed at Poes Garden after someone pushed her," Pandian, one of the founding members of the ruling AIADMK, claimed at a press conference.

He also alleged that none was informed of the treatment of Jayalalithaa after she was admitted to hospital.

He even raised questions about Sasikala's family surrounding Jayalalithaa's mortal remains at Rajaji hall.

"I witnessed how Sasikala and her family were not even grieving when Amma suffered a cardiac arrest. We were all shocked to see Sasikala's family surround Jayalalithaa's body at Rajaji Hall," he said.

Pandian demanded a probe against everyone who was present at Apollo on the night of December 5th when Jayalalithaa's death was announced.

He also questioned the elevation of Sasikala as the party general secretary and the legislature party leader.

"Sasikala cheated us and wants to be the chief minister," Pandian said at a press conference at his home here. "We oppose it," he said.
