Chennai, Aug. 4 -- A day after Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder S Ramadoss filed a complaint against his son, party leader and former Union minister Anbumani Ramadoss, alleging eavesdropping through a bugging device placed at his residence, the latter's supporters defended him.

Party spokesperson K Balu, recently removed from his post as president of Samooga Needhi Peravai, the advocates' forum founded by Ramadoss, said that the PMK founder has been inconsistent and made various contradictory statements on the eavesdropping issue.

"If you see, first he said he doesn't know who has installed a bugging device in his house, then he said event media houses may have installed, yesterday he said Anbumani has installed," Balu told reporters...
