Coimbatore: New Tamil Nadu Party leader K. Krishnasamy has announced that a protest will be held across Tamil Nadu on the 30th of this month condemning the minister’s statement that beef will be served in government student hostels.
Speaking to reporters in Coimbatore yesterday, he said: In Tamil Nadu, complaints are being received that the food served in government student hostels is not cooked properly and is half-cooked. It is unacceptable in any way for those responsible for correcting the basic hardships prevailing in the hostels to be talking about serving beef there.
Trying to forcibly impose beef on students using government funds is an act that hurts the sentiments of the entire public. The practice of imposing personal food habits on students must be abandoned immediately.
Minister Vanniarasu, who spoke in a controversial manner, should publicly apologize and withdraw his remarks. Condemning the minister’s speech, a protest will be held on the 30th in front of all district collector offices in Tamil Nadu and in front of the minister’s house on behalf of the New Tamil Nadu Party.
This by-election, which is being imposed after the elected representative resigns from office within a short period for selfish gains, without any valid reason, is meaningless. This is a wrong precedent against democracy.
The all-party alliance, of which more than 15 organizations including the Kongu Youth Forum and Puratchi Bharatham are members, will not contest this by-election or extend support to anyone. He said this.
