A day after functionaries of certain political parties staged a black flag protest against Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi in Mayiladuthurai, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on April 19 told the Legislative Assembly that the State Government “will not make any compromise when it comes to providing due protection and security to the Governor”.
Responding to the former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, who accused the government of failing to provide security to the Governor, Mr. Stalin said even though demonstrations were held in a democratic manner, the government had ensured security for him.
“Leader of the Opposition [Edappadi K. Palaniswami] and Deputy Leader of the Opposition [O. Panneerselvam] sought to politicise the issue. But let me say firmly they will not succeed in their attempt,” he said amidst the thumping of desks by the treasury benches and the members of the alliance parties of the DMK.
