AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday deplored the attack on officials of the State government at the office of Perambalur Collector during the submission of bids regarding stone quarries.
In a statement, he blamed members of the DMK for the attack. Neither the Collector nor senior police officials had rushed to the spot of the attack. This had shown that the officials in question had been restrained by the top brass of the government, he added.
Mr. Palaniswami wanted to know whether Chief Minister M.K. Stalin or Director-General of Police Shankar Jiwal would release CCTV footage of the attack, as in the case of Raj Bhavan petrol bomb attack.
