Chennai: Dubbing the Karnataka government's decision to appeal in the Supreme Court against the verdict acquitting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in an assets case as "shameful," the ruling AIADMK today asserted that its chief will again prove her innocence.
"That a State government is going to appeal in an 18-year old case after the High Court had given its judgement following the completion of final arguments is a shameful act," the AIADMK said in an article published in the Tamil daily 'Dr Namadhu MGR'.
"People of Tamil Nadu have no doubt that our Puratchi Thalaivi Amma will shine like gold refined in fire again by proving that she is innocent (in court of law) after stamping out conspiracies," the AIADMK said.
Karnataka's move "smacked of political vendetta after listening to the voice of some (persons)," the daily said.
The write up also took a swipe at the DMK and PMK for demanding appeal in the case that absolved Ms Jayalalithaa.
A PMK delegation last month called on Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and gave a memorandum urging the state government to appeal in the case.
After a Cabinet meeting, Karnataka government announced yesterday that it would appeal in the Supreme Court against the verdict exonerating Ms Jayalalithaa.
