DMK workers engaged in road blockades and protests against the government in various parts of Tamil Nadu, condemning the arrest of the Leader of the Opposition. It is said that baton charges were carried out in some places to disperse them. Some people are also reported to have been injured. In this situation, Mayor Priya spoke to reporters in Chennai. At that time, she said, “This is a highly condemnable incident. Party comrades had come in person to see their leader. The police have carried out a severe baton charge on the party workers who came to meet him.”

Two people were severely affected in this attack. One of them suffered a broken nose, and the other developed blood clots all over the body. Were they involved in some terrorist act to the extent that the police had to resort to a baton charge against party workers who had labored for the party and against the public? That the police carried out such a brutal action against the public and party members within half an hour is completely anarchic politics.
Those who speak of “democracy” today do not even know what democracy means. They go to the theater and watch the film “Jananayagan” and cry. But in reality, is democracy about beating a person until he bleeds? If the police are under your control, can you do whatever you want?
The current government must definitely answer for all this. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam is not a movement that will be afraid of such threats. All necessary legal action will be taken against this through the law and the courts,” he said.
