In a strongly-worded statement on social media, AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami slammed CM Vijay for his silence over the MLAs' conduct and rising crimes in the state
Chennai: AIADMK general secretary and former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami Friday announced that his party would stage a protest at Kallakurichi on Tuesday against TVK MLA Arul Vignesh over an alleged obscene message sent to the Collector.
Speaking to mediapersons at Chennai airport before leaving for Salem, Palaniswami said the alleged incident involving the Kallakurichi MLA had been widely reported in the media and condemned by leaders of various Opposition parties.
“I have also issued a statement on the issue. Therefore, I wish to inform you that the AIADMK will stage a protest in Kallakurichi on Tuesday against the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam MLA Arul Vignesh representing the Kallakurichi constituency,” he said.
In a strongly-worded statement on social media, he slammed Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for his silence over the MLAs' conduct and rising crimes in the state.
Asking him to wake up from his ‘Kumbhakarna slumber’ and crack down on criminals with an iron fist, he also alleged that Tamil Nadu, which was once an Eden of peace, had turned into a “robbers den”.
Listing out the recent incidents of burglaries / robberies, he charged that murders, robberies and muggings were daily occurrences, making people live in fear.
Repeating Vijay’s popular catchphrase: “Be confident, good things will happen, victory is certain”, the former chief minister asked whether the message was for the general public or criminals.
