Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday seeking suitable action against those who spearheaded ‘violent protests’ against Governor R.N. Ravi in Mayiladuthurai and those who failed to take appropriate measures on the ground to prevent it.
Separately, Mr. Annamalai told The Hindu that the DMK government had miserably failed in maintaining law and order and what happened to the Governor’s convoy in Mayiladuthurai was uncalled for. He said the Centre, using all means available within the Constitutional limits, must take complete control of the Governor’s security. He also demanded that Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should either apologise to the Governor or resign.
“You (DMK government) have created a situation where the Governor’s security has been directly compromised. You have allowed people right next to the convoy and when that convoy was passing, a stone was pelted on the convoy, flags were thrown. The DMK government is using all the tricks of the trade to make the Governor feel threatened,” he said.
