The AIADMK’s general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday, October 5, 2023 deplored the arrest of agitating part-time teachers of government schools.
On his social media handle, Mr. Palaniswami pointed out that the agitators had recalled electoral promises given by the ruling DMK at the time of 2021 Assembly polls and had asked for them to be fulfilled. He demanded their immediate release and acceptance of their demands.
Echoing a similar position, the AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran wanted Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to call the agitators for talks and resolve the issues concerning the teachers.
