It was only in March 2012 that she was again given the primary membership. So far, she has not completed the mandated five years, and hence, was ineligible to contest, counsel for Sasikala Pushpa had contended on December 16.<\/p>\n<p>K M Vijayan, counsel for the MP, had submitted that AIADMK bye-law under Section 20 (2) says that the General Secretary should be selected by all the primary members of all party units. He further submitted that AIADMK proposed to amend the party bye-laws to facilitate appointment of Sasikala as General Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming the rule of &#8220;continuous five-year membership&#8221; was amended, still the &#8220;basic structure&#8221; for selection of the General Secretary by all primary members of all party units cannot be amended, he said. Also, as per the Societies Registration Act, a minimum of 21 days notice has to be served on the members for attending the General Council, the counsel said.<\/p>\n<p>AIADMK counsel B Kumar had then submitted that Sasikala Pushpa was expelled from the party on August 1 this year. &#8220;She has not challenged her expulsion. She has no locus standi to comment about the activities of AIADMK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He had said AIADMK, a recognised political party by the Election Commission, was not registered under the Societies Registration Act. AIADMK was registered as a political party under Representation of the People (RP) Act with the EC, he had submitted.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIADMK today filed a petition in the Madras High Court seeking quashing of the plea by expelled AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa and her husband to restrain the ruling party from appointing former chief minister Jayalalithaa&#8217;s aide V K Sasikala as party General Secretary.
