The DMK government in Tamil Nadu on Friday said it was “disregarding” Governor R N Ravi’s action of sacking V Senthil Balaji, who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a cash-for-jobs scam and since hospitalised.

Although he retracted the decision on the advice of the Union Home Ministry, state Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu said Chief Minister M K Stalin will write a detailed letter to Ravi on the matter.
