|July 31, 2025
CPM politburo member U Vasuki on Wednesday said the state government should enact a law to prevent caste-based killings.
CPM politburo member U Vasuki on Wednesday said the state government should enact a law to prevent caste-based killings. Speaking to reporters, Vasuki, who is also the all India vice president of the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), said, "Chief Minister M K Stalin's stand that existing laws are adequate to prevent caste-based killings is not acceptable." A special session of the TN Assembly should be convened to enact separate legislation as crime and atrocities against women and children are increasing in the state, she added.
"Political parties should take a firm stand regarding dowry harassment. Film actors should announce that they will not receive dowry," Vasuki said.
