‘Under DMK govt, history sheeters & sexual offenders roam freely’: BJP’s Annamalai slams CM MK Stalin

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 3 (ANI): Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai on Friday criticized Chief Minister MK Stalin's government over the Anna University sexual assault case, claiming that under the DMK, history sheeters and sexual offenders operate freely as DMK functionaries while BJP Tamil Nadu functionaries are being constantly harassed for being the voice of the people.
In a post on X, Annamalai said, "Under this DMK Govt in TN, history sheeters & sexual offenders roam freely under the disguise of being a DMK Functionary, but BJP Tamil Nadu functionaries are being constantly harassed for being the voice of the people."
He claimed that Tamil Nadu BJP Mahila Morcha functionaries were either arrested or kept under house arrest across various districts on Friday to prevent them from participating in the rally in Madurai to demand justice for a student who was sexually assaulted at Anna University in Chennai.
"Tamil Nadu BJP Mahila Morcha functionaries were either arrested or kept under house arrest across various districts today to prevent them from participating in the rally in Madurai to seek Justice for the female Student who was sexually assaulted by a DMK functionary," Annamalai added in the post.
Annamalai attacked Chief Minister MK Stalin further saying, "Why is the DMK government so afraid of being exposed for protecting criminals that it resorts to silencing those who seek justice? TN CM MK Stalin should be ashamed for curbing freedom of expression & his autocratic behaviour," Annamalai said.
Earlier today, BJP's women's wing in Tamil Nadu staged a protest against the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government to demand justice for a student who was sexually assaulted at Anna University in Chennai.
The women members of the BJP leading the "Justice rally" from Madurai to Chennai were later detained by the police.
This comes after a second-year student of Anna University was allegedly sexually assaulted on the Anna University campus on December 23 night, Chennai Police said. One person has been arrested in connection with the case. (ANI)
