PMK Founder, Son in Political Dispute with Unclear Motives
In a Tamil Nadu political party called PMK, there's a big fight between the father, who started the party, and his son, who is now the leader.
The father is trying to take back control, but no one knows exactly why.
The son was once a government minister and then became the party president.
The judge tried to help them get along, but it hasn't worked so far.
It's a mystery why the father is doing this after supporting his son for so long.
Madras High Court attempted to mediate a leadership dispute between PMK founder and son.
S. Ramadoss, the founder, challenged his son Anbumani's leadership.
The core of the conflict remains unclear, causing intrigue and speculation.
Anbumani Ramadoss became Union Health Minister in 2004, a decision Ramadoss now seems to regret.
Anbumani was elected PMK president in May 2022, succeeding G K Mani.
