After 25 ministers and lawmakers held an emergency meeting in capital Chennai on Monday night, the VK Sasikala-led AIADMK faction that rules Tamil Nadu has "welcomed" what it said was an offer from the rival O Panneerselvam camp to discuss re-uniting the party. There is pressure reportedly on party chief Ms Sasikala and her nephew and deputy TTV Dinakaran to resign. Mr Dinakaran is in Bengaluru to meet Ms Sasikala, who is in jail in a corruption case.
