The Hindu’s Vijaita Singh Says “Read News Written By Journalists Not Party Pracharaks” While Her Chairman N Ram Inaugurates CPI-M Exhibitions

By

-

A social media post by leftist mouthpiece The Hindu has triggered widespread discussion after users accused the publication of hypocrisy regarding political neutrality.

The controversy began when The Hindu’s official X handle released a promotional video stating, “When gossip is dressed up as news, it stops being journalism. Read, hear, and share news written by journalists.”

Soon after, The Hindu’s senior ‘journalist’ Vijaita Singh reshared the post with the caption, “Read news written by journalists, not party pracharaks.”

Her remark drew sharp criticism from netizens, who accused the publication of partisanship.

Several users pointed out that the newspaper’s former Editor-in-Chief and current Director of The Hindu Publishing Group has been seen participating in events organized by communist-affiliated groups and political figures.

Many questioned the credibility of The Hindu’s claim to neutrality, seemingly asking her who the real party pracharak was now.

It is noteworthy that over the years, The Hindu has drawn sustained criticism for functioning as a de facto mouthpiece of the Communist Party and a consistent amplifier of Chinese state narratives. Its editorial choices frequently echo Beijing’s geopolitical messaging while undermining India’s sovereignty, military, and foreign policy.

From publishing distorted maps of India and false defence reports to glorifying the Chinese Communist Party’s centenary and running paid Chinese advertorials, the newspaper has repeatedly aligned with China’s interests. Its coverage of the Galwan clash, BRI projects, and LAC tensions routinely foregrounded Beijing’s perspective while sidelining India’s.

By normalizing Chinese propaganda, publishing sympathetic pieces on the CPC’s “achievements,” and hosting the Chinese Ambassador at its Chennai office, The Hindu has positioned itself less as an independent Indian publication and more as a reliable amplifier of left-wing and Chinese state viewpoints.

Jersey City Candidate Mussab Ali Hails Zohran Mamdani As The “Real Obama”, Here’s Why He’s An Osama In Disguise

By
The Commune
-

In an interview clipping that has gone viral, Jersey City mayoral candidate Mussab Ali is seen praising New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, drawing a direct comparison to former President Barack Obama and suggesting a political parallel with London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Speaking on Mamdani’s electoral prospects, Ali stated, “Based on what the Mamdani team has done thus far, I think they are in good shape going into November. I think he is going to be the first Muslim mayor of the largest city in America.”

The interviewer expanded the comparison, noting, “I think you can say the two largest cities in the hemisphere, London and New York. London has Sadiq Khan who is of a Pakistani Muslim background and Mamdani is an East African, originally Indian.”

In his response, Ali elaborated on the Obama analogy. “You know Republicans, if you think about what they used to say about Obama right, they are like Obama is not born in America, he was born in Africa, Obama’s a socialist, a Muslim,” Ali said. “Literally Mamdani is a Muslim socialist who was born in Africa and is now actually the mayor of New York city. I think it is incredible like what they thought about Obama, this man he actually is.”

The conversation seems to be indicating that Islamists are rejoicing that they have taken London with a Pakistani Muslim mayor and now it’s New York’s turn.

It is also noteworthy to look at Ali’s previous political actions as Jersey City’s School Board President, he allegedly forced through Eid holidays, halal lunches, and Islamic dress code accommodations in public schools.

An Osama In Disguise

From glorifying Hamas and denigrating India to pushing anti-Israel resolutions, New York legislator Zohran Mamdani embodies the dangerous nexus of left-wing extremism and Islamist propaganda—heavily bankrolled by global “philanthropic” networks.

The son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran has long leveraged his privileged background to push divisive identity politics under the garb of “solidarity.” His record in the New York State Assembly and beyond exposes a pattern—relentless attacks on India, Hindus, and Israel, echoing talking points crafted by global left-Islamist lobbies.

Mamdani has received significant backing from advocacy groups linked to Islamist organizations and pro-Hamas outfits.

A groundbreaking Fox News investigation by Asra Nomani, in collaboration with the Daniel Pearl Project, has shed light on the sprawling coalition and funding behind Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to become New York City’s next mayor.

Groups such as ICNA, prohibited in India and Russia for their ties to terrorist organizations, and CAIR, previously named in terrorism financing investigations, have been integral parts of the campaign’s network. Donations from the Unity & Justice Fund and coordinated actions by members of Jamaat-e-Islami and other global Muslim entities underscore the campaign’s far-reaching terror connections.

The Council on American‑Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its super-PAC arm Unity & Justice Fund are reported to have funneled substantial funds into a PAC supporting Mamdani’s campaign. One report cites a $25,000 gift on May 30 and a further $75,000 on June 16, 2025. Another source places the figure at about $100,000 in total. In addition, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action (USCPR Action) publicly endorsed his campaign in September 2025 — their first-ever candidate endorsement.

He was seen with an Imam, who has historical ties as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

In 2023, the New York State Assembly passed a controversial bill aimed at stopping tax-exempt donations from state-registered charities that funded Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank – activities widely regarded as violations of international law.

The legislation, titled “Not on Our Dime!: Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act,” was introduced by the then-Assembly member Zohran Mamdani in May 2023. It sought to prohibit not-for-profit corporations registered in New York from using charitable funds to support organisations linked to Israeli settlement expansion or violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Mahmood Mamdani, a professor at Columbia University and father of New York mayoral candidate and Islamist terror supporter Zohran Mamdani, argued for a controversial reframing of suicide bombers, stating they should be seen as soldiers rather than barbarians in the aftermath of the 9/11 Twin Tower terror attack. Mamdani even appeared to evade a question about Sharia law during a public interaction.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the organization backing mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, is facing a severe public condemnation just as the NYC mayoral polls come closer and the information that a radical faction within its ranks openly praised and launched a campaign to free Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of murdering two Israeli embassy staffers in a terror attack in Washington, D.C.

New Yorkers must decide if they want their city to be taken over by an Osama.

DMK Leader Ponmudi Who Made Obscene Comments On Hinduism Gets Reinstated As Party Deputy General Secretary

DMK Leader Ponmudi Who Abused Hindus Gets Rewarded - Reinstated As Party Deputy General Secretary

Just 6 months after being stripped of his DMK Deputy General Secretary post for making vulgar and derogatory remarks about Hindu traditions and women, former Tamil Nadu Forest Minister K Ponmudi is set to be reinstated to the same party position, ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

According to a post on its X handle, the DMK announced the appointment of Ponmudi and senior leader MP Swaminathan as new Deputy General Secretaries expanding the current list of office bearers from five to seven.

The move has triggered unease within sections of the party and among critics who view it as a reward for a leader mired in controversy.

In April 2025, Ponmudi had provoked nationwide outrage after making obscene comments about Shaivism and Vaishnavism, alongside indecent remarks about women, at a public event organised by the Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam in Chennai.

While addressing the gathering, he narrated a crude anecdote equating the sacred forehead markings of Shaivites and Vaishnavites with sexual positions. The minister said:

“A man goes to the home of a sex worker. She asked if he was a Shaivaite or Vaishnavite… She said if you are Shaivaite, it means intercourse in a lying position, and if Vaishnavite, intercourse in a standing position.”

The remarks went viral and drew strong condemnation from Hindu groups, women’s rights activists, and opposition parties, including the BJP, which filed police complaints against him.

Following the backlash, advocate B Jagannath filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Madras High Court seeking Ponmudi’s dismissal from the state cabinet, arguing that his comments violated his constitutional responsibilities as a public servant and insulted the religious sentiments of millions.

Under public pressure, Ponmudi issued an apology on 12 April 2025, saying, “I sincerely apologize for the words I used. It was a lapse in judgment. I regret having caused offense and embarrassment to many.”

Despite the apology, the DMK removed him from his Deputy General Secretary post to contain the controversy though he was allowed to continue as Forest Minister, a decision that drew criticism for its perceived double standards. Following the outrage and sustained public pressure including opposition demands and a Madras High Court directive, Ponmudi resigned from the cabinet as well. The Governor of Tamil Nadu accepted his resignation, and his portfolio was reassigned to another minister.

Now, with the 2026 polls nearing, Stalin’s decision to reportedly reinstate Ponmudi has raised eyebrows within political circles. The move comes amid efforts to strengthen district-level leadership, with Ponmudi likely to be entrusted with responsibility for the Villupuram district, where the party has faced organizational slack.

Party insiders claim that since Villupuram Minister MRK Panneerselvam hails from neighbouring Cuddalore and cannot oversee local activities full-time, Ponmudi is being brought back for “electoral management.”

Seventy Bollywood Stars Allegedly Signed A Letter In 2014 Saying ‘No To Modi’, Anupam Kher Reveals

By
The Commune
-

A recent clipping of an undated video is going viral on social media and it is of actor Anupam Kher who alleged that in 2014, ahead of the general elections, a group of film industry figures circulated a letter urging that Narendra Modi should not become Prime Minister. He stated that he declined to sign it.

In an interview with TV9 Bharatvarsh that took place in July 2025, Kher said that around seventy film personalities had endorsed the appeal, but he refused when approached. “A person who has been Chief Minister of Gujarat for 14 years — why should he not become Prime Minister?” he said, adding that he saw no reason to join such a campaign.

Kher criticised what he described as the “left wing” elite in the film and intellectual circles, alleging hypocrisy and detachment from common people. He claimed that those who spoke in the name of socialism lived in luxury while offering little tangible support to the displaced or the poor.

Referring to his Kashmiri Pandit roots, Kher said the suffering of the community had long been ignored. He alleged that successive governments and sections of the media had suppressed the scale of the violence and displacement. Speaking about The Kashmir Files, he said the film had unsettled those who had dismissed the community’s tragedy, calling the reaction to it an example of “panic and propaganda labelling.”

This Bollywood film industry had planned the end of Modiji even before he began! pic.twitter.com/h2hV6G9Ura

And today, we see that every Bollywood star is craving for a selfie with the Prime Minister.

Vijayanagara-Era Gold Coins Unearthed At Ancient Temple in Javvadhu Malai

A cache of gold coins dating back to the Vijayanagara Empire has been discovered during renovation work at the Adi Arunachaleswarar Temple in Koviloor village, Javvadhu Malai union, Tiruvannamalai district.

The temple, believed to be around 500 years old, was built during the Vijayanagara period. Renovation work began in October after the customary Balalayam ritual was performed on the eighth day of the month. The project, funded by ₹2.49 crore from the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department and devotees’ contributions, aimed to restore the temple’s ancient structures.

On Monday, workers engaged in renovation stumbled upon a hoard of gold coins while digging in the north-western part of the temple premises. HR&CE and district archaeology officials rushed to the spot and confirmed that the coins dated to the Vijayanagara era.

Officials said 103 gold coins were recovered and subsequently taken to the District Collector’s office for examination and valuation. Preliminary assessments suggest the coins may belong to the reign of Emperor Krishnadevaraya in the early 16th century.

The discovery highlights the Vijayanagara Empire’s enduring influence in northern Tamil Nadu and offers valuable insight into the region’s economic and cultural history.

Dindigul: 500 Christian Residents Hold Road Blockade Despite High Court Order Allowing Temple Annadhanam On Public Land

Dindigul: 500 Christian Residents Hold Road Blockade Over Temple Annadhanam On Govt Land

Tension gripped Dindigul district on Monday after more than 500 members of the Christian community from Panchampatti village staged a road blockade protesting against the conduct of annadhanam on government land during the Kumbabishekam of a Hindu temple.

The protest came in defiance of a Madras High Court order that permitted the annadhanam, observing that when a public ground belongs to the state, it cannot be restricted for use by any specific community. Following the court’s direction, the annadhanam was held on Monday at the designated public ground.

Senior officials, including District Collector S. Saravanan and Superintendent of Police A. Pradeep, held negotiations with the protesters at the collectorate and pacified them, leading to the withdrawal of the agitation later in the day.

According to sources, the annadhanam was planned by local Hindu residents following the Kumbabishekam ceremony of a temple in the village. However, local authorities had earlier denied permission to use the government-owned vacant ground situated between a temple and a church. After a resident challenged the rejection, the High Court granted permission for the event.

Panchampatti village, which has a population of over 10,000 families, includes more than 2,500 Christian families and about 100 Hindu families. On Sunday night, Christian residents staged a black flag protest at the annadhanam site, demanding that the public ground be designated as a “Pascha Ground” on the event invitations.

On Monday morning, hundreds of Christian residents, including women, marched to the Dindigul Collectorate intending to surrender their government-issued identity cards in protest. They blocked the road leading to the collectorate and raised slogans against the district administration.

Over 100 police personnel were deployed to maintain law and order. A case was registered against around 100 protesters who had gathered at the annadhanam site on Sunday night, officials confirmed.

USA: Mohmed Ali & Majed Mahmoud Charged In ISIS-Inspired Halloween Terror Attack Plot

By
The Commune
-

Two men from Michigan have been charged in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired terror plot to carry out a mass shooting on Halloween in a Detroit suburb, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed on Monday, 3 November 2025.

The accused, Mohmed Ali of Dearborn and Majed Mahmoud, both aged 20, have been charged with receiving, transferring, and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.

According to court documents, the men allegedly planned a coordinated attack codenamed “Pumpkin”, which investigators say could have resulted in a large-scale massacre similar to past terror attacks in Europe. The alleged plot, which began on 1 September 2025, was intended to be executed on 31 October 2025, before federal agents intervened.

Arrests and Court Appearance

Ali was arrested on Friday. His attorney, Amir Makled, had earlier told the Associated Press that he did not expect charges to be filed, claiming there was no plot. However, after the complaint was unsealed, Makled did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

Mahmoud appeared in court on Monday alongside Ali. His lawyer, William Swor, told reporters outside the courthouse that both defendants were 20 years old and that he needed time to review the 73-page complaint before commenting further.

The Alleged Plot and Communications

According to the FBI, the accused men, along with a juvenile identified as “Person 1” and using the alias “Athari,” allegedly practiced shooting multiple times at local gun ranges. On one occasion, Ali was also accompanied by an unnamed “Co-conspirator 4.”

In intercepted communications cited in the affidavit, the juvenile suspect allegedly insisted that the attack must take place on Halloween and not at a later date.

“So ya, I talked to my brothers. We are going to do Pumpkin,” he allegedly told Ali. “I talked to [Co-conspirator 4] and [Co-conspirator 5]. They said it is getting bad. So we got to do Pumpkin, ya.”

Weapons and Tactical Gear Seized

Before the suspects could act, authorities executed federal search warrants on both men’s residences and a storage unit in Inkster, Michigan. The searches yielded an extensive cache of weapons and equipment, including:

  • Three AR-15-style rifles
  • Two shotguns
  • Four pistols
  • More than 1,600 rounds of ammunition
  • GoPro cameras, tactical vests, and other combat gear

FBI Director Kash Patel praised the operation, stating that the arrests were the result of “months of tireless investigative work” that “likely saved many lives.” He added that the FBI would “continue to follow the facts, uphold the law, and deliver justice.”

Scouting and Training

Investigators said the suspects had allegedly scouted potential attack locations in Ferndale, Michigan, a Detroit suburb known for its LGBTQ+ nightlife. This surveillance activity reportedly drew attention because none of the suspects were above 21 years of age, and their movements appeared coordinated.

Surveillance video presented in court showed Ali and Mahmoud at a Michigan gun range, along with “Co-conspirator 5” and “Person 1” (the juvenile Athari), handling firearms and purchasing ammunition.

The FBI alleged that Ali and Athari discussed carrying out an attack modeled on the 13 November 2015 ISIS attacks in Paris, which killed 137 people and injured more than 400.

The affidavit stated that they were planning to do “the same thing as France.”

Extremist Influences and Digital Trail

The complaint further identified several unnamed co-conspirators. “Co-conspirator 1” allegedly met with Ali and Athari between June and July before traveling abroad. Upon returning to the United States, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers reviewed his phone and reportedly found Google searches for “ISIS” and “Islamic State,” as well as selfies in tactical gear holding weapons.

Authorities said the accused shared extremist propaganda and content promoting ISIS ideology through WhatsApp, Instagram, and Discord. They also allegedly sought advice from the father of a known local “Islamic extremist ideologue” while finalizing Halloween as the target date for the planned attack.

Weapons Procurement

Investigators allege that both Ali and Mahmoud were legally eligible to purchase firearms and had done so multiple times in recent months. Bank records and online activity revealed purchases including:

  • A 12-gauge Beretta A300 Ultima Competition shotgun
  • A Daniel Defense M4 V7 rifle
  • Multiple 5.56 rifles from Palmetto State Armory
  • A Sig Sauer 9mm pistol
  • More than 1,600 rounds of 5.56 ammunition, reportedly shipped to Mahmoud’s address

Law Enforcement Response

The FBI operation was conducted in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, state police, and local law enforcement agencies.
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

“Thanks to the extraordinary diligence of U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr., the FBI, and state and local law enforcement officers, this plot was stopped before innocent lives were lost.”

Despite the alleged plot’s complexity and coordination, officials confirmed that the planned attack was completely thwarted before any harm was done.

The investigation remains ongoing, with several unnamed suspects still under scrutiny.

Madras High Court Slams HR&CE For Failing To Clear Encroachments From Temple Lands In Karur

Madras High Court Slams HRCE For Failing To Clear Encroachments From Vennimalai Murugan Temple Lands

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has severely criticized the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department and the district administration of Karur for their persistent failure to remove encroachments on more than 500 acres of land belonging to Arulmigu Balasubramaniaswamy Temple at Vennimalai.

The bench comprising Justices P Velmurugan and B Pugalendhi said that the continued inaction of officials despite repeated judicial directions amounted to contempt of court and reflected “lawlessness in the State.”

The case arose from a contempt petition filed by A. Radhakrishnan, a devotee who had earlier approached the court in 2018 seeking recovery of temple properties. Despite a 2019 order directing the HR&CE Department to take immediate steps to clear encroachments, the directive remained largely unimplemented even after six years.

With nearly 507.88 acres of temple land still under illegal occupation, Radhakrishnan initiated contempt proceedings against senior officials of the department.

In March 2024, the court took cognizance of the contempt, observing that the HR&CE Department despite being the statutory guardian of temple assets had failed to protect the property. The department’s own report admitted that its 2022 eviction drives failed due to protests by encroachers and a “lack of cooperation” from the police and other authorities.

To aid compliance, the court had earlier permitted the HR&CE Department to form a monitoring committee with revenue officials. However, subsequent hearings revealed “no meaningful progress.” On 3 October 2024, the bench suo motu impleaded several serving and retired HR&CE officers, asking them to explain their inaction.

During hearings, officers claimed they had faced “threats and intimidation” from encroachers and were unable to conduct evictions due to non-cooperation from the district administration and police.

The bench observed that such a state of affairs “shows the lawlessness in the State” and directed the Superintendent of Police, Karur, to provide full protection to the temple’s Executive Officer and the Joint Commissioner of HR&CE, Tiruppur.

“The court will not permit the hanging of Damocles’ sword over officers who are discharging their duties,” the bench warned, adding that any danger caused to officials during enforcement would make the Superintendent of Police personally liable.

A subsequent departmental report presented a startling revelation: 27 government officials, 49 industrialists and businessmen, and 38 other influential persons were among those who had encroached on temple lands. However, their names, positions, and details of occupation were not disclosed to the court.

The bench criticized the HR&CE Commissioner for not escalating the issue to the Revenue and Home Departments despite repeated warnings. It also noted that key documents required for reclaiming temple lands were readily available with the district administration and archives but had not been utilized.

“The HR&CE Department, the statutory guardian of temple properties, has failed to discharge its duties, leaving it to a devotee to pursue the matter before this Court,” the judges observed.

To ensure accountability, the bench suo motu impleaded the Superintendent of Police, Karur, as a party respondent and directed all respondents, including senior IAS officers, to personally appear before the court on 17 October 2025, with complete revenue records.

Student Wings Of Congress & Muslim League Disrupt Classes In Kozhikode Schools Demanding Kerala Govt To Withdraw From PM-SHRI Scheme

KSU, MSF Protests Disrupt Classes In Kozhikode As Kerala Suspends PM SHRI Scheme Implementation

Several schools in Kozhikode witnessed disruptions on Tuesday as student wings of the Congress and Indian Union Muslim League – the Kerala Students’ Union (KSU) and Muslim Students Federation (MSF) held protests demanding that the state government withdraw from the Central Government’s Pradhan Mantri Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme.

The protests, called under the United Democratic Students Front (UDSF), began in the morning and spread to several institutions including Devagiri Savio School and allegedly also the Mukkam High School. Police detained about 20 student leaders after they attempted to blockade offices and halt classes.

At the Devagiri campus, activists surrounded the principal’s office, while at Mukkam High School, classes were stopped after students were allegedly urged to leave by protestors. Videos circulated online showed groups believed to be from KSU and MSF entering classrooms, raising slogans calling for protests against the PM SHRI scheme and against the RSS, and accusing the government of surrendering Kerala’s education to the Sangh Parivar. They raised slogans in Malayalam, translating to, “Did you know oh students, education in Kerala has been surrendered to the RSS.”

They also raised slogans against CM Pinarayi Vijayan and Education Minister V Sivankutty.

They were also seen confronting and intimidating teachers who attempted to continue lessons by asking them if they were supporting the RSS. The exact school location in the videos has not been officially confirmed.

Among those detained were MSF State General Secretary C.K. Najaf, District President Afnaz Chorode, KSU District President V.T. Suraj, and MSF Haritha General Convener Rima Mariam. The protesters were later released after brief detention.

The agitation followed days of political turmoil within the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s administration halted all ongoing PM SHRI procedures after four CPI ministers boycotted the cabinet meeting, accusing the government of signing the memorandum of understanding with the Centre without consultation.

A seven-member cabinet subcommittee has been appointed to review the scheme, and the Education Department has been instructed to suspend finalisation of schools until the review report is submitted. Kerala is also preparing to write to the Centre seeking relaxation of provisions it considers “unacceptable.”

The PM SHRI initiative aims to upgrade 14,500 schools nationwide with improved infrastructure, technology, and pedagogy under the National Education Policy. While states ruled by Congress and its allies including Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh have implemented the scheme, Kerala’s participation has become a political flashpoint.

Dravidian Model Law & Order: Armed Gang Enters Home And Hacks Mother & Son In CM Stalin’s Kolathur Constituency, Goes On A Rampage Across Chennai

By
The Commune
-

In what seems like the total collapse of law and order in the state, especially in the capital city of Chennai, a six-member armed gang unleashed a wave of violence across the city on Saturday night, leaving a trail of six critically injured.

The most alarming aspect of the coordinated attacks is that they originated in Kolathur – the constituency of Chief Minister MK Stalin, who also holds the Home portfolio.

The reign of terror began around 10:30 PM in the heart of Kolathur, on Sivasakthi Nagar 1st Street. Six men, arriving on two motorcycles, forcibly entered the home of 52-year-old Chandra. In a brutal assault, they attacked her with sharp weapons, inflicting severe head injuries. They then turned on her son, Rajesh, who was in another room, leaving him with deep cuts on his torso and shoulder. Both victims had to be rushed to a government hospital for emergency care.

Preliminary police investigations suggest the assailants were hunting for a man named Akash. Failing to find him, they allegedly turned their fury on the innocent mother and son. Shockingly, it is alleged that the perpetrators were individuals recently released from prison.

From Kolathur to Koyambedu: A Trail of Violence

Emboldened, the same gang then targeted four other men -Karthik (35), Tamilselvan (26), Manojkiran (32), and Vishal near the Girija Nagar main road, leaving Karthik and Tamilselvan with grievous head injuries.

The spree culminated around 3 AM on Sunday near the bustling Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT), where the gang cornered an auto-rickshaw driver and known history-sheeter, Ganesan (38). He was hacked multiple times with machetes and remains in critical condition.

Police, relying on CCTV footage, have identified five suspects: Amavasai, Vicky, Chinna Karuppu, Periya Suruppu, and Jeeva, and have launched a search operation.

The Unavoidable Political Question

While officials state the motive is under investigation, the political implications are immediate and stark. The fact that such a violent, coordinated attack could be initiated in the Chief Minister’s own backyard raises a fundamental question about the state’s security apparatus.

If the residents of the Chief Minister’s constituency are not safe from armed gangs barging into homes, slashing people on the streets and assaulting citizens with impunity, where is the common citizen to turn for safety?

Critics are already asking if the law-and-order situation has deteriorated to this extent in the Chief Minister’s own constituency, doesn’t moral and political responsibility demand that he steps down from the post?

This is not merely a law and order failure; it is a profound failure of governance at the highest level. The attacks in Kolathur have drawn a kolam (red rangoli) of blood on the Chief Minister’s doorstep, and it is a stain that demands more than just a police investigation; it demands accountability.
