AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Friday called for stringent measures against illicit arrack and spurious liquor in Chennai.
In a statement, he referred to the recent arrest of three women for selling liquor in containers behind Kannagi statue on the Marina beach, and expressed his shock over the incident which, he said, took place near the DGP’s office. He wondered whether the government was trying to cover it up by arresting merely a few women.
If the government does not take stern action, Mr. Palaniswami said his party would not hesitate to carry out an agitation along with women against the government.
