Under the banner of ‘National Voters Council’, RSS State In-Charge Guru Subramaniam along with a few volunteers held a rally on Amman Kovil Street, Chidambaram town, within the Chidambaram parliamentary constituency at 11:30 AM on 5 April 2024 to ensure 100% voter turnout and to elect worthy representatives.
However, during the rally, two of the volunteers named Raghavan and Sanjay were allegedly assaulted by DMK councilors CK Rajan and Jais Vijayaraghavan, along with Pettai Balu Balasubramaniam and Appu Chandrasekhar.
In their statement, the Hindu Munnani has alleged that despite the serious assault, the police refrained from filing a case against the assailants.
They alleged that the complainants were instead, detained until 06:30 pm and harassed.
“District Deputy Superintendent Raghupathi and the police officers led by him are acting unilaterally in support of DMK councillors. The Election Commission should note that the said DSP Raghupathi has been working in the same place continuously for more than three years because he is working in favor of the ruling party.”, the Hindu Munnani said in their statement.
Many complaints have been made against the DMK and its allies that they are trying to get votes by paying money for votes. The DMK and its allies have gone on a rampage of violence fearing that people will wake up to such an honest and democratic view and vote against corruption and caste violence. This highlights the need for impartiality among election officials.
They said that in light of these events, the Election Commission should take action against DSP Raghupathi and other biased officials.
The statement further highlighted, “The violence perpetrated by DMK councillors is viewed as an attempt to suppress democratic principles and maintain control through fear. It is imperative for the Election Commission to intervene, register criminal cases against the perpetrators, and ensure the deployment of central security forces in potential trouble spots to ensure peaceful elections.”
