No compromise on Governor R N Ravi security: Stalin
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin asserted that not even a ”speck of dust” fell on state Governor R N Ravi during a black flag protest against him in Mayiladuthurai and said the opposition AIADMK’s attempts to ”do politics” over the matter will not fructify ”as this is DMK rule.”
Seeking to turn the tables on the principal opposition, which staged a walkout of the Assembly over the issue, Stalin also sought to remind it of an alleged attack on then Governor Chenna Reddy in the 90s during the AIADMK period and pointed out that an Assembly resolution for his recall was also adopted then. Also, he recalled the ”humiliation” meted out to Subramanian Swamy, Rajya Sabha MP and a former bureaucrat during the AIADMK regime.
”After questioning the government, the AIADMK members should have remained in the Assembly House for my reply. They could have walked out if the reply is not convincing. But they chose to stage a walk out apparently realising what the reply would be and thinking of what they had done during their rule,” Stalin said.
Explaining about the black flag protest against Ravi, Stalin, quoting the ADGP (L&O), told the Assembly that there was no truth in the claim that stones and flagpoles were thrown on Ravi’s convoy during his visit to a mutt in Mayiladuthurai district on Tuesday.
