Naam Tamilar Katchi coordinator Seeman has issued a statement criticizing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay.
The occurrence of 11 murder incidents in Tamil Nadu on Diwali day has caused a stir. As a result, many opposition parties have been criticizing the deterioration of law and order.
In this situation, Thuraiyur MLA Ravisankar is facing severe criticism for assaulting a person who came to voice complaints and then threatening him into speaking on video.
In this regard, Naam Tamilar Katchi coordinator Seeman has issued a statement expressing condemnation. In it, he said, “11 murders in a single day! Thuraiyur MLA Ravishankar attacked a man who came to voice his grievances! Has Vijay taken a holiday from law and order and public peace?
The news that 11 people were killed in various parts of Tamil Nadu yesterday alone, when the Diwali festival was being celebrated, is deeply shocking. I extend my condolences to the families and relatives grieving their loss, and share in their sorrow.
Tamil Nadu’s law and order has deteriorated so badly that even a festival day could not be celebrated safely, which stands as proof of the poor governance of the incapable TVK rulers. In Theni, at Samatharmapuram, Police Special Sub-Inspector Senthilkumar was brutally attacked and died for questioning those who blocked a public road and burst firecrackers. If this is the condition for a police officer who questioned the obstruction caused to people traveling on the road, whom can the public trust to step out onto the streets? The fact that Tamil Nadu has been pushed to a state where even the police who protect the people are not safe is a sign that public peace has been completely shattered.
Has Chief Minister Vijay given a holiday to law and order and public peace, just as he gave a holiday to the Secretariat over the weekend? What answer is he going to give for all these murders? If people have to live in fear and anxiety even on a festival day, can that be called governance? Letting crimes happen and then arresting the criminals and putting them in prison is not the police’s job; the police’s primary objective can only be to create a peaceful, safe society where crimes do not happen at all. On the one hand, prisoners casually escaping from jail; on the other, the rampant spread of drugs! TTVK’s office-bearers themselves are being arrested in a drug smuggling case by the Union government’s forces and the Kerala police. If the police, instead of taking notice of that, plant drugs in the shop of a person who protested against a liquor shop and try to file a false case, what can this disgrace be called?
The video footage of the Thuraiyur MLA and Deputy Speaker Ravishankar assaulting a person who had gone to directly voice a constituency-related grievance is proof of the arrogance of power and thuggery of the TVK government. What is the TVK government, which tracked down and arrested my sister Karthika, my brother Isai Madhivanan, and others and imprisoned them in connection with an election case, going to do now? Isn’t it disgraceful to threaten and intimidate the affected person and then make him sit beside them and speak as if nothing had happened?
Taking responsibility for mistakes, admitting errors and correcting them, and taking action against whoever is at fault are all fundamental qualities of leadership. Chief Minister Vijay will never know what any of this means. His one and only solution to everything is the farce called a roadshow, cheap theatrics staged to divert the people, fake stories, and false narratives! All of this may only divert people’s attention from the problems, but it will never provide a solution to them. Will Chief Minister Vijay realize this at least now?” he asked.
