Bharatiya Janata Party Vice President of Tamil Nadu Narayanan Thirupathy demanded the dismissal of state minister Senthil Balaji after the Enforcement Directorate took the latter in custody in an alleged money laundering case.

“It is a complete drama by DMK. ED called Senthil Balaji for interrogation, he is a minister, and it's his duty to cooperate with the investigation. I demand Chief Minister MK Stalin dismiss Senthil Balaji from his ministry immediately and ask him to cooperate with the probe,” he said while speaking to ANI on June 14.
