The AIADMK’s general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Thursday, November 2, 2023 deplored the attack, robbery and urination upon two young men of the Scheduled Caste community near Thachanallur in Tirunelveli district.
“This has proved that caste atrocities are taking place in an unprecedented way after the DMK came to power [in May 2021],” Mr Palaniswami alleged in a post on his social media handle (X).
Describing the incident as an attack on humanity, the AIADMK leader said the police, instead of viewing it as a mere case of robbery, should take stringent action against all those responsible, while the government should provide proper relief to the affected persons.
