The state BJP leadership has urged Governor RN Ravi to order a forensic audit of the audio clip. Since the minister "is resting on an argument that this audio is fabricated, we challenge him to produce an audio clip with similar content but instead in my voice," Mr Annamalai said. Mr Annamalai has hit back, challenging the minister to produce an incriminating audio clip with his voice. He has also demanded an independent forensic analysis of the audio. Mr Annamalai has refused to apologise and denied he has violated any defamation law. The ruling DMK has denied allegations and issued legal notices to Mr Annamalai, demanding an apology and huge cash damages of upto Rs 500 crore. The rail company has denied this, saying "a fair process was followed". He had also alleged that in 2011, during the DMK's earlier tenure, Mr Stalin was paid a Rs 200 crore bribe for favouring a private company get a contract to supply coaches for Chennai Metro Rail. The list included including Chief Minister MK Stalin's son and Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and other ministers including Durai Murugan, EV Velu, K Ponmudy, V Senthil Balaji, and former Union Minister S Jagathrakshakan. On April 14, Mr Annamalai released what he calls the "DMK files" in which he alleged that key DMK leaders have accumulated assets worth Rs 1.34 lakh crore. He had also said "more such audios and videos" could come. A similar audio had surfaced recently, in which the speaker - purportedly PTR - is heard saying, "Udhayanidhi (Chief Minister M K Stalin's son) and Sabareesan have accumulated 30,000 crore".Ĭalling the clip "fabricated", the minister had said that "no malicious attempts to divide us will succeed".
