The tone of BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai’s speech during a protest here on Monday against the remarks of Nilgiris MP A. Raja was intimidatory, CPI(M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan said on Tuesday.
Talking to newspersons here, he said efforts should be made to ensure that Coimbatore never remained tense, but the BJP’s demonstration revealed that the RSS did not want Coimbatore to be peaceful.
The tone of Mr. Annamalai’s speech, targetting Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the police, was intimidatory, and it lacked political decency and decorum. Hence, he should be arrested, he said.
