Nesa Prabhu, a television journalist hailing from Tiruppur district in the state, has been uncovering violations and irregularities related to the sale of liquor, as per claims made by local journalists.
According to reports, the journalist made multiple frantic calls to the police control room, describing being followed by a group of motorcycle riders without license plates and requesting assistance. However, he was instructed to go to the nearest police station and file a formal complaint. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin strongly condemned the assault and pledged to take strict action against those responsible. He also directed that a police inspector be placed on a waiting list due to alleged inaction despite the journalist’s repeated pleas before the attack.
Mr. Stalin announced a financial aid of ₹3 lakh for Mr. Prabhu’s medical treatment and expressed his distress, stating, “I am deeply saddened. Whoever is responsible for this attack will face severe consequences.”
In response to CM MK Stalin’s statement, the Tamil Nadu BJP official Twitter handle has issued a tweet.
It said, “MK Stalin has overlooked the fact that his political party holds the reins of power, and he himself is the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Despite being at the helm, he disapproves of the current administration as if it has no connection to him. Instances of law and order being compromised while innocent citizens bear the brunt are not unfamiliar when the DMK assumes control. Every time the DMK takes charge, Tamil Nadu experiences a state of chaos.”
It further added “Within a mere 2.5 years, the public has encountered challenges comparable to those faced over a span of 5 years between 2006 and 2011. Chief Minister Stalin is seemingly proud of this, leading to the observation that “Stalin is more perilous than Karunanidhi.” The Arivalayam appears poised to exert its authoritarian control, suppressing social activists, opposition figures, and ordinary citizens who critique the government. The administration seems paralyzed and intimidated by ruthless criminals who are actively undermining law and order. In this distressing moment, to drive home the Chief Minister’s predicament, the Tamil Nadu BJP has coined the term “#DummyCM” to symbolize the anguish caused by the current regime.”
தங்களது கட்சிதான் தற்போது ஆட்சியில் உள்ளது, தான்தான் தமிழகத்தின் முதல்வராக இருக்கிறோம் என்பதையே மறந்துவிட்டு… இந்த ஆட்சிக்கு சம்மந்தம் இல்லார்போல் கண்டனம் தெரிவித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் @mkstalin அவர்கள்.
திமுக ஆட்சிக்கு வந்தாலே சட்டம் ஒழுங்கு சந்தி சிரிப்பதும், அப்பாவி மக்கள்… https://t.co/jpFAdAUP7C
