NEW DELHI: DMK leader A Raja has issued a legal notice to a YouTube channel over a controversial audio clip attributed to him. He claimed that the recording is fabricated using artificial intelligence and selectively edited to misrepresent his speech.“The audio clip circulated as if I spoke. It has been cut, pasted, and created using artificial intelligence to falsely fabricate a narrative. I have sent a legal notice through my lawyer regarding this,” Raja said.He also criticised AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami for using the unverified clip to make defamatory remarks against the late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi and Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin.Raja described Palaniswami’s reliance on the recording for political gain as “politically uncivilised and dishonest.” He also referenced verses from poet Bharathiyar to underline his point.The controversial audio clip, which surfaced recently on social media, purportedly shows Raja making disparaging remarks about DMK leadership and internal party matters. Circulated in two parts, the clips allegedly suggest that CM Stalin was ‘unfit’ for leadership and include sensitive claims regarding the 2G spectrum scam.The audio includes allegations that Karunanidhi was mistreated or kept under house arrest during his final days, a claim that Palaniswami has cited to demand a fresh probe into the former CM’s death if he comes to power.Tamil Nadu will go to polls in a single phase on April 23, with counting of votes scheduled for May 4.
