The Madras High Court expressed its dissatisfaction with both the DMK and AIADMK, stating that both parties are more focused on blaming each other rather than genuinely caring for the public or working towards the nation’s betterment.
During a case hearing related to an investigation that has been ongoing for over two years, Justice Velmurugan directed the CB-CID to expedite the inquiry and submit a final report soon. While examining these cases, the judge took the opportunity to voice criticism of the state’s two major political parties without naming them directly.
Justice Velmurugan stated, “Neither party is better than the other. Neither the DMK nor the AIADMK demonstrates genuine concern for the welfare of the nation. Both parties are engaged in a pattern of trading accusations simply to maintain their positions. Instead of focusing on constructive achievements, they prioritize criticizing one another.”
The judge pointed out that neither party has substantial accomplishments to speak of, raising concerns about the potential impact of such political behavior on future generations. “Democracy is being used as a cover to accuse one another rather than working together for public interest,” he remarked.
Referring to past incidents, Justice Velmurugan highlighted, “This is the only place where members of a party involved in the brutal burning of a college student, who later received reduced sentences and were released, were even honored as martyrs.”
He concluded by saying, “Both parties lack genuine concern for the people and are solely focused on their own interests. Is it enough to only pursue your own cases? Aren’t there other cases that matter? Regardless of which party is in power, the same police force serves the state. Unnecessary accusations against the police must be avoided.”
This sharp critique by the High Court serves as a reminder for political parties to shift their focus towards meaningful
