Chennai, March 7 : AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa has issued legal notices to three media organisations, including DMK-owned 'Kalaignar TV', for carrying "frivolous and defamatory" reports linking her to tainted Pune-based businessman Hasan Ali Khan, and demanded unconditional apology from them.
The notices have been issued to Mumbai-based eveninger 'Mid-Day', Chennai-based DMK's official mouthpiece 'Murasoli' and 'Kalaignar TV'.
Jayalalithaa said she will take legal action if the three media organisations failed to respond to her notice.
Jayalalithaa's counsel P H Manoj Pandian said in the notice that the "preposterous claim made without any verification is not backed by any documentation."
"My client states that the report by Mid-Day quotes an anonymous investigating officer as saying that investigations into huge cache of money in the possession of Hasan Ali Khan, who is in the center of a controversy for reportedly evading Income Tax to the tune of several thousand crores, pointed to 'a woman politician, who was also Chief Minister of a state from South India'.
