DMK objects to Jaya’s portraits in offices

The DMK on Saturday called for the removal of portraits of late CM J Jayalalithaa from government offices, saying she was convicted in an assets case. DMK working president and Opposition leader in the TN Assembly, MK Stalin, also opposed the naming of government schemes after her and “the use of taxpayers’ money for her 69th birthday celebrations” on Friday. “She was convicted in the ₹66 crore disproportionate assets case. The government should not allow new schemes to be named after her,” he said.
