AIADMK General Secretary and Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) has launched a scathing attack on the ruling DMK government, following the sentencing of DMK sympathizer Gnanasekaran to life imprisonment in the high-profile Anna University sexual assault case.
In a strongly worded post on his official X handle, Palaniswami alleged that the DMK regime led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin made “several miraculous efforts” to protect Gnanasekaran and shield other potential accused in the case. “The Stalin-model DMK government did so many miracles to save the accused DMK sympathizer Gnanasekaran,” Palaniswami wrote, while hailing the role of his party in keeping public pressure alive.
He credited the AIADMK’s continuous campaign — both online and offline — for ensuring justice in the case. “Overcoming all of this, and through its continuous struggle from the public forum to social media, DMK sympathizer Gnanasekaran has now been sentenced — and this was made possible by the efforts of @AIADMKOfficial,” he said.
Palaniswami reiterated that the AIADMK has stood as the “voice of the victim student,” and raised critical questions that remain unanswered to this day.
Referring to the mysterious “Sir” mentioned in the original FIR, Palaniswami demanded transparency from the DMK government: “Who is the ‘Sir’ mentioned in the FIR? Why was that ‘Sir’ ruled out during the investigation? Why did the DMK government rush to conclude this case by saying that only Gnanasekaran was guilty?” he asked.
Accusing the government of covering up deeper links, he added: “#Who_saved_the_SIR? These questions will not remain questions for long. Once the government is formed by @AIADMKOfficial, all the answers are going to be available.”
Concluding his remarks with a pointed warning, Palaniswami declared: “Even if Stalin himself thinks so, no way can save that SIR!”
The case, which shook public conscience and sparked outrage among students and civil society, has seen significant political friction, with opposition parties accusing the ruling DMK of shielding insiders. While the recent court verdict has sentenced Gnanasekaran to life imprisonment, the AIADMK has vowed to continue its demand for a full investigation and disclosure of all individuals involved.

இந்த வழக்கில் குற்றவாளி திமுக ஞானசேகரனைக் காப்பாற்ற எத்தனையோ சித்து வேலைகளை செய்தது ஸ்டாலின் மாடல் திமுக அரசு.
அத்தனையும் முறியடித்து, மக்கள் மன்றம்…
