The EC in March, 2017 had given the 'hat' symbol to the Dhinakaran group after it froze the use of the 'two-leaves' symbol to which the group led by Palaniswami and Panneerselvam had also laid claim.
"We will not allow Dinakaran to use the name AIADMK and we will take all legal steps for this purpose," the state fisheries minister said.
