It has only been 6 months since the T.V.K. government took office. In this situation, Minister Shahjahan said that alcohol and drug addiction are the main reasons for the continued murders in Tamil Nadu.
To participate in various events being held in Nellai district on behalf of the Indian Union Muslim League party, the party’s MLA and Tamil Minorities Welfare Minister Shahjahan arrived today.
Speaking to reporters then, he said, "It has been 6 months since this government, led by the TVK, the Social Justice Victory Alliance, took office. On the Chief Minister's orders, we have been meeting minority communities in person, listening to their grievances, and finding solutions.

In response to the demands of minority communities in the Nellai district, an allocation of Rs. 34 crore has been made to establish burial grounds and cemeteries. Various demands raised by the people of the Nellai city area are also being addressed promptly. Necessary funds have been allocated in the Tamil Nadu budget for these works. Due to factors such as Super El Nino and drought, prices have risen. To address this, the government has held several consultation meetings and taken steps to sell various goods through ration shops.
It is very important to bring law and order in the state fully under control. During the past five years of DMK rule, around 9,000 murders have taken place. The Chief Minister is paying close attention and taking strict action to ensure that such troubling incidents that occurred during the previous regime do not happen again. However, the continuing murder incidents are distressing.
It has been only 6 months since the TVK government took charge. This is a 'honeymoon period'.
Alcohol and drug addiction are the most important reasons for the continuation of the murder incidents taking place now. Complete prohibition is the firm policy of the Indian Union Muslim League party. At the same time, some time is needed to completely prevent alcohol and drug addiction.

Across India, intensive preventive measures are needed against narcotic drugs. In Tamil Nadu, the T.V.K. government is taking various constructive measures to completely prevent drug use.
There has been no complaint so far against the Kallakurichi MLA. It is only on social media that such an incident is being discussed. If he is at fault, the government will take strict action. Likewise, the video circulating that the Thuraiyur MLA was involved in the attack—was it being spread deliberately? That needs to be examined," he said.
