|October 23, 2024
THE DMK government's aim is to create hurdles to other political parties and try to stop their meetings and demonstrations, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said at Konganapuram on Tuesday. He was replying to a question from reporters on alleged police restrictions to actor Vijay's political party TVK's first public meeting in Vikravandi.
Palaniswami said, “The government's aim is to create hurdles to opposition parties. Is this the Dravidian model of governance? During the AIADMK regime, we permitted 36,000 demonstrations of all parties and private organisations. People are observing the actions of the government and will teach it a befitting lesson.”
