Chennai: Former AIADMK General Secretary V.K Sasikala paid floral tributes at former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's memorial near the Marina beach a day before the occasion of AIADMK’s founding day celebrations, on Saturday. Sasikala, who announced that she will stay away from politics in March, however, started taking endeavours to join back with AIADMK. 

Ex-General Secretary of AIADMK Sasikala started from her home at 10.35 am and first offered prayers at a nearby temple in her home in T Nagar. Sasikala subsequently reached Jayalalithaa’s memorial and paid a teary floral tribute to the late leader. 

The visit of Sasikala to the memorial today is the first since her return from the Parappana Agrahara Central prison, where she was serving her prison term in a disproportionate assets case. The EX AIADMK General Secretary primarily planned to visit the memorial quickly after her release from the prison but the then AIADMK government issued orders to close the memorial for maintenance works and COVID-19 norms.
