Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR) has dismissed an audio clip as “fabricated” that purportedly claimed he made comments on the assets of Chief Minister MK Stalin’s family members. BJP chief K Annamalai had tweeted the clip, claiming PTR spilled “secrets” about the assets of DMK president MK Stalin’s son Udhaynidhi and son-in-law Sabareesan. PTR said the audio clip is “malicious, fabricated” and pointed out that anyone can make such audio clips with the help of technology. PTR attached screenshots of the audio clip’s forensic analysis which, according to him, proved the clip shared by the rival party leader was clearly fake. Mr Annamalai challenged the DMK leader to give the audio clip to an independent agency for analysis.
