AIADMK also responsible for Delhi violence: Stalin

Description

The AIADMK was also responsible for the violence that took place during protesting farmers’ tractor rally in Delhi on Tuesday, DMK president M.K. Stalin told journalists at a press meet held here on Tuesday. “Were it not for AIADMK’s support in the Rajya Sabha, the Central government could not have passed the three farm bills. The party’s support for the passage of the bills led to the situation that unfolded on Tuesday,” he said. Even after supporting the passage of the bills, Chief Minister Edapadi K. Palaniswami continued talking in support of the laws and demeaned the farmers who opposed it. He should apologise to the farmers and the people of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Stalin said. Mr. Stalin accused the Central government of misusing the police force by unleashing violence on farmers, causing accidents and injuring many. Earlier, he presented a shawl to Coimbatore resident Pappammal, who was chosen for the Padma Shri award.
