All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader and Rajya Sabha member Sasikala Pushpa was on Monday sacked from the party for bringing ill-repute to the regional outfit, said AIADMK General Secretary and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. The action on Sasikala came two days after she reportedly slapped Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Tiruchi Siva, aka Trichy Siva, at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi.   Meanwhile, Sasikala said in the Rajya Sabha on Monday: "I need protection. I don't have safety in Tamil Nadu. There is a threat for my life." She broke down in the Upper House of Parliament while making these claims. She also said before she was sacked: "I'm being compelled to resign from my constitutional post.I will not do it." - www.metrotvbureau.com
