Political Leaders Raises Question on Law And Order

Expressing shock over the brutal murder, the BSP and other major political parties including the BJP have raised question on the law and order situation in the state. Critising the ruling DMK in the state, BJP state president K Annamalai said, “Deeply shocked by the news of the brutal murder of the State President of the Bahujan Samaj Party, Thiru Armstrong avl, in Chennai today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family & the cadres of the Bahujan Samaj Party at this time.” 

“Violence & brutality has no place in our society but has become a norm in TN in the last 3 years under the DMK regime. Having left the law & order of the State in shatters, Thiru MK Stalin should ask himself if he has the moral responsibility to continue as the CM of the State,” Annamalai stated. 

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami took to X to condemn the killing of BSP leader.
