Chennai: DMK Working President M K Stalin yesterday said displaying portrait of a person "convicted" by the Supreme Court in government offices will only set a "wrong precedent".
The statement comes a day after he demanded removal of portraits of late party supremo Jayalalithaa from government offices, saying she was convicted in a disproportionate assets case.
Rebel AIADMK leader and former CM O Panneerselvam had slammed Stalin for his demand, which he said smacked of "political indecency. In his response Stalin said, "DMK only says that using a picture or a portrait of person who has been convicted by Supreme Court in government offices would set a wrong precedent."
"DMK does not interfere in the birthday celebrations or those who keep the pictures of J Jayalalithaa by AIADMK cadres," he said.
