Madurai Bench Of Madras HC Is Karunanidhi's Alms: EV Velu's Statement Draws Ire, Later Minister Apologizes

However, the Minister apologized for the statement and expressed his regret for saying so. 

Tamil Nadu Minister EV Velu ran into a controversy after saying that 'Madurai Bench of Madras High Court is Karunanidhi's alms'. However, the Minister apologized for the statement and expressed his regret for saying so. 

Tamil Nadu Minister EV Velu said: " Earlier, if the people of the southern districts of Tamil Nadu wanted to file a case in the High Court, they had to go to Chennai, but former TN CM Karunanidhi made the DMK MPs raise this issue in the Parliament several times and brought the High Court bench to Madurai. The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court is Karunanidhi's alms."


Addressing the reporters on Wednesday, EV Velu said, "Only in the morning I realised that I had used the work works. Instead of saying that Madurai branch of Madras HC was a gift (Kodai) given by Karunanidhi, I wrongly mentioned it that way. I get back the words."
