Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday called upon law students to use their legal knowledge for the benefit of the poor, the downtrodden and the marginalised sections of the society.
Addressing a function to mark the silver jubilee of Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University at Perungudi near Chennai, Mr. Stalin called upon students to use their education for protecting the basic rights enshrined in the Constitution. "Not only legal rights, you should also act to protect social justice.. People need only justice now. You should be messengers of justice," he said.
Recalling how Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University got a space initially, Mr. Stalin said officials cited congestion at former CM Karunanidhi's residence at Gopalapuram and had recommended a bungalow 'Poompozhil' on Greenways Road to be his official residence. But, since the new law university was still looking for a space, Karunanidhi allocated 'Poompozhil' for the university, Mr. Stalin pointed out.
