Stop online gambling games, EPS to State govt


AIADMK interim general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Sunday urged the DMK government to take immediate measures to stop online gambling games and warned if the action was not taken immediately, his party would stage continuous protest demonstrations till the issues were solved. Pointing out that his previous regime had brought a resolution in Assembly to stop online gambling games, Palaniswami, in a release here, said that since, the DMK government could not argue well with its senior advocates against the ban, especially the “online Rummy,” the online game has started flourishing. Blaming that the present government has not implemented the special committee’s order to regulate the online gambling games in the state, Palaniswami said recently even a police person in Coimbatore committed suicide after incurring losses in “online Rummy” game. Claiming that daily several thousand crores were transacted through online gambling games, the AIADMK leader alleged that several authorities were involved in getting bribes from the online gambling companies and letting them exist.
