The T T V Dinakaran faction of the AIADMK told the Election Commission on Monday that many of the affidavits filed by the E Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam camps, which are now merged, claiming majority support for them in the party are forged and obtained under duress.

It also asked the poll panel to allow it to cross-examine the other side.
