DMK has promised to probe the mysterious death of late chief minister and AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa if it was elected to power in Tamil Nadu. Speaking at a function, Stalin said it was Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam who said there is mystery in Jayalalithaa's death and there should be a judicial probe. Stalin said chief minister K Palaniswami in 2017 had ordered a probe leading to to Jayalalithaa's hospitalisation. Jayalalithaa died on December 5, 2016 after being in hospital for around 75 days. Panneerselvam who was leading a faction of AIADMK had raised doubts about the circumstances surrounding Jayalalithaa's death. According to Stalin, the Commission was to submit its report in three months time but it is yet to do the same even after three years. The term of the commission was extended seven times, Stalin said.
