Villupuram (Tamil Nadu), Aug 17 (PTI) Amid a power tussle in the top leadership, a special general council of the PMK on Sunday resolved that its founder Dr S Ramadoss will continue as the founder-president of the party.
Dr Ramadoss and his son Dr Anbumani are involved in a tussle over the past few months, each appointing and firing functionaries at will. Senior leaders and functionaries have been backing the respective leaders.

The resolution was adopted unanimously with the members cheering and clapping loudly, while raising slogans of “Maruthuvar Ayya,” (Dr Sir) to extend their support to the 86-year-old leader.
Ramadoss acknowledged by standing up and waving at and greeting the members with folded hands.
