Chennai: MDMK leader Vaiko on Tuesday hit out at Opposition leaders as well as some of TVK’s alliance partners, particularly VCK, for criticising the state govt over the law and order situation.
He also recalled several major incidents, including the Vachathi gang rape of tribal women, the massacre of dalits at Melavalavu, the killing of 13 people in police firing during the Sterlite protest, custodial deaths of a father and son at Sathankulam and the sexual assault of an engineering college student in Chennai.
However, there was a false propaganda to project TVK regime as crime prone, he said.
His remarks came close on the heels of 13 murders being reported across the state in a single day, triggering widespread criticism.
Only MDMK and IUML did not criticise the govt,” Vaiko said at a media interaction in Chennai. ““The minute the sun raises, leaders of opposition parties start attacking TVK govt. Interestingly, an alliance party, which is part of the cabinet in present govt, is also criticising the govt.
