Chennai, July 9 -- Launching a scathing attack on All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami over his "temple funds misuse" allegations on DMK, Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister PK Sekar Babu on Wednesday said that Palaniswami is unaware of history and is "drowned in the darkness of ignorance".

Babu stated that the regional party's alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was like a "murky pond", where one can't catch a fish.

"Edappadi is unaware of history. He is drowned in the darkness of ignorance. AIADMK alliance is like a murky pond; you cannot catch fish in it. DMK alliance, on the other hand, is flowing like a clear river," Babu told reporters here....
