Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Wednesday urged the State government to act firmly on atrocities against the Scheduled Castes (SCs) to ensure that such incidents do not take place again.
In a statement on the social media platform X, he alleged that violence against the people from SC communities was continuously on the rise after the DMK came to power. He further claimed that the State government was clandestinely promoting enmity against different communities by playing vote bank politics and failing to take stern action against the perpetrators of such violence.
Expressing shock over the the recent attack on five people belonging to a Scheduled Caste, including a child, in Perungudi in Madurai district, he said that the DMK government’s “indifferent attitude” towards such incidents cannot be accepted anymore.
