AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran has questioned whether the TVK government is reminding people of the rule of demons on Diwali.
In Tamil Nadu, on Diwali day yesterday alone, 9 people, including 2 boys, a young woman, and a police officer, were murdered.
Condemning these murder incidents, TTV Dhinakaran posted:
“9 brutal murder incidents in a single day yesterday in Tamil Nadu — is this TVK government reminding people of the rule of demons on Diwali?
In Sivaganga district’s Manamadurai, a young man and, near Kallal, a rowdy were chased down and brutally murdered,
A woman who had been working at a private company near Poondi in Tiruvallur district was tied up and murdered,
A youth was stabbed to death in a dispute over drinking near Kattupalayam in Cuddalore district,
An 18-year-old youth was brutally murdered in Vyasarpadi, Chennai,
Two 17-year-old boys were killed by unidentified persons in Samayapuram in Tiruchi district,
thus turning yesterday’s Diwali festival into a grim convergence of murder incidents.
Moreover, the brutal attack and murder of Special Sub-Inspector Senthil of the police department, who questioned the blocking of vehicles on the road and bursting of firecrackers in Samatharmapuram in Theni district, and the mindless attack on police personnel who had gone to arrest a murder accused near Cuddalore, clearly expose the extent to which law and order in Tamil Nadu has deteriorated, as attacks on police personnel continue during the past six months of the TVK regime.
It has to be seen as a curse for the people of Tamil Nadu that they have a Chief Minister who gives priority to entertainment and ministers who participate as guests in Diwali special day events and celebrate joyfully, while no action is being taken to restore law and order, which has deteriorated to the point where murder incidents are occurring as a matter of routine from the state capital Chennai to the farthest districts.
The people who should be celebrating this auspicious day, when Vishnu destroyed the demons who inflicted great suffering on the people and brought them relief, are accusing that when they see the daily murders and robberies taking place, the demons are still alive, and that this government, which should destroy them, is merely watching as a spectator.
Therefore, I urge Chief Minister Joseph Vijay to realize at least now that the unsafe environment even for the police, who are supposed to protect the lives and property of the public, is a warning bell struck against Tamil Nadu’s law and order, and to take the necessary steps to maintain and protect the law and order, which is in the depths of decline,” he said.
