Days after announcing he would return to active politics after a two month hiatus, ruling AIADMK (Amma) deputy general secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Friday said that “no one can stop him” from party work.

Dhinakaran’s assertion assumes significance after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palanisamy-led camp kept him away from the party as well as government activities.

AIADMK party office is my office. Nobody can stop me from going there and I will go whenever I wish.
