Seeman, the chief coordinator of the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), made several pointed remarks during a press conference in Tiruchirappalli. His statements were critical of recent political developments in Tamil Nadu, particularly those related to the DMK government and its leaders.Seeman began by questioning the nature of the recent Muthamizh Murugan Conference held in Palani. He expressed doubt about whether the event truly reflected the essence of Tamil culture or if it was simply a superficial attempt by the organizers. Seeman asserted that if it weren’t for him, the conference wouldn’t have been held in Palani, implying that his influence played a crucial role.
He further criticized the Tamil Nadu government for its failure to implement a law allowing individuals from all castes to become temple priests. Despite the legislation, Seeman questioned whether it had been effectively enforced.
In a bold move, Seeman also scrutinized the appointments of certain IPS officers, referring to a couple where both husband and wife serve as Superintendents of Police in neighboring districtsāTiruchirappalli and Pudukkottai. He insinuated that their appointments might have been influenced by corrupt practices, suggesting that they were “working for thieves” and expressing doubts about their merit.
Seeman then turned his attention to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. He mocked Stalinās claims of bringing in ā¹10 lakh crore in industrial investments and creating employment for 3.1 million people in the state. Seeman accused Stalin of exaggerating or lying about these figures and announced his intention to file a lawsuit to challenge these claims.
Moreover, Seeman suggested that before Stalin’s upcoming foreign trip, he should appoint a senior leader like Durai Murugan as the Deputy Chief Minister. He speculated that even Durai Murugan might have such aspirations and emphasized the importance of addressing them.
Seeman also defended AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami, dismissing the derogatory remarks made against him as unwarranted. He praised Palaniswami as one of the most intelligent political leaders in the state and blamed the DMK for normalizing the trend of harshly criticizing political opponents.
