Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) founder Thol. Thirumavalavan on Wednesday demanded that the State Government ban the outfit run by S. Yuvaraj, who has been convicted in the Gokul Raj murder case recently, and urged the government to appeal against the acquittal of five persons.
Dalit activists have supported Mr. Thirumavalavan’s call for a ban, stating that caste organisations such as Dheeran Chinnamalai Peravai must be treated like a terror outfit.
In a statement, Mr. Thirumavalavan said the police should have registered a ‘terror’ case and not just as a caste killing. “The court has pointed out that ‘there seems to be no introduction between Gokul Raj and Swathi, and the perpetrators before the incident. There seems to have been no enmity that could have formed the motive for this murder. The murder has taken place because of a wrong ideology and philosophy the of the caste organisation [led by Yuvaraj]. The State government must take into account that the modus operandi [of the organisation] is similar to that of a terror outfit,” said Mr. Thirumavalavan.
