DMK chief and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has come out in support of cockroach Abhijeet Dipke and commie Neha Bora, who were reportedly detained by Delhi Police amid protests demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. However, political analyst Kishore K Swamy hit back at Stalin, reminding him of his own government’s record of detaining critics and the alleged illegal detention he personally faced under the DMK regime.
The controversy erupted after social media users began demanding information about the whereabouts of Dipke and Bora following reports of their detention. A post concerning Bora claimed that she had been detained separately and taken to an undisclosed location, adding that she did not have access to her phone. The post questioned Delhi Police over her whereabouts and described the detention as an abduction.
Neha has been detained alone and taken to an unknown location!
They don’t have their phone!
Delhi Police must answer: where is Neha?Once again an abduction, not detention!

Stalin quoted a post about the two individuals and demanded their immediate release. He wrote, “Where is @abhijeet_dipke? Where is @neha_aisa?”
Calling the alleged detention illegal and inhumane, the DMK chief stated that detaining people without disclosing their whereabouts was “blatantly illegal and deeply inhumane.” He further demanded that the Union Government release them immediately and stop suppressing peaceful protests.
“The Union BJP Government has no other option,” Stalin wrote, adding the hashtag #GyaneshKumarMustGo.
Where is @abhijeet_dipke? Where is @neha_aisa?
Detaining them without disclosing their whereabouts is blatantly illegal and deeply inhumane.
The Union Government must release them immediately and stop suppressing peaceful protests. Every attempt to crush the movement will only make it stronger.
#GyaneshKumarMustGo. The Union BJP Government has no other option.

However, political analyst Kishore K Swamy responded by accusing Stalin of hypocrisy and recalling his own experience of being detained under the DMK government.
In a sharp rebuke, Kishore wrote, “Your govt detained me for 3 days without informing my family. The arrest itself was illegal. And then you slapped preventive detention on me which was once again deemed illegal by the high court and you don’t have an iota of shame questioning others.”

Stalin’s outrage over the alleged detention of Dipke and Bora rings hollow when confronted with Kishore K Swamy’s account of his own treatment under the DMK regime. A leader who now lectures the Union Government on civil liberties must also answer for allegations of illegal detention and the use of preventive detention against his own critics. For Stalin, apparently, police action against political opponents is an outrage when the BJP is in power, but a different story when it happens under his own government.
