DMDK apologises to dalits
indianexpress Express News Service , The New Indian Express
CHENNAI: With the elections to the local bodies just a couple of weeks
away,� the main opposition party DMDK which snapped its ties with the
ruling� AIADMK last week, on Thursday tendered apologies to the people
affected in the Paramakudi police firing and the violent incidents
that occurred in that area.
The apology from the DMDK presidium chairman and Deputy Leader of
Opposition� Panruti S Ramachandran followed criticisms that the party
went against the interests of the people affected in the police
firing.Stating that judicial probes announced by the State
governments, on many occasions, had turned out to be a mere ritual and
went in favour of the government, Ramachandran said " the party will
accept the demand for a CBI enquiry into Paramakudi police firing, if
it satisfies the people affected in the violent incident."
Clarifying his statement made in the State Assembly that there was no
need for a judicial enquiry into the Paramakudi incident, Ramachandran
said it has been routine for political parties to demand a judicial
probe and later on no one would bother about the report of the enquiry
commission.� The DMDK leader said he had said that there was no need
for a judicial enquiry into the issue as he thought that in the name
of a judicial probe, the State government should not neglect the
appropriate action to be taken on the issue. Ramachandran said his
stand was vindicated now as the people in the affected areas had
boycotted the enquiry commission constituted by the State government.
