Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) leader Seeman has strongly criticized the DMK government over the arrest of Simon, the party’s Dindigul regional in-charge, for allegedly criticizing government activities on social media.
On 12 December 2024, Seeman alleged that Simon was falsely accused in retaliation for raising issues such as illegal liquor sales and mineral theft during a Naam Tamilar Katchi public meeting held on 1 December 2024, in Mylapore, Athur Assembly Constituency. He described the arrest as a misuse of power by the DMK government, which, he claimed, has failed to address these rampant illegal activities and instead targeted Simon for speaking out.
Calling the arrest an “unacceptable atrocity,” Seeman reaffirmed NTK’s unwavering support for Simon and pledged that the party’s legal team would actively pursue his release. He warned the ruling government that its alleged misuse of authority and disregard for public welfare would soon lead to its downfall. Seeman concluded by demanding the immediate withdrawal of what he described as politically motivated charges against Simon and called for his release without delay.
Seeman expressed his outrage on his on social media official X account, questioning the arrest, “Is it justifiable for Simon, the Dindigul regional in-charge of Naam Tamilar Katchi, to be falsely accused and imprisoned for voicing concerns about social injustices? @CMOTamilnadu @mkstalin. The action of the DMK government in arresting the Dindigul regional in-charge Simon under a false charge is strongly condemnable.”
“The false charge against Simon for speaking out about illegal liquor sale and mineral theft at the Naam Tamil Party public meeting held in Mylapore, Athur Assembly Constituency on 01-12-2024, with the aim of political revenge, is a clear abuse of power. The DMK government, which is powerless to stop the rampant illegal sale of liquor and uncontrolled mineral theft in the Athur constituency to arrest the criminals involved in it, has arrested Simon for speaking out against these social injustices in the public forum. It is an unacceptable atrocity. I hereby assure you that Naam Tamilar Katchi will fully support the imprisoned brother Simon and that the Naam Tamilar Katchi lawyer wing will undertake the legal battle for his release.” He added.
“I remind the ruling authorities that the day is not far when the anti-people DMK government, which operates with an authoritarian attitude in the name of power and position, will be brought to an end for its tyranny and abuse of power. Therefore, I urge the ruling DMK government to withdraw the false cases fabricated against Simon and release him immediately.” He further added.
