Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, responding to allegations made by opposition parties in the Assembly, challenged them to provide evidence for their claims. “If you truly have proof about ‘that sir,’ share it with the Special Investigation Team (SIT). Who is stopping you?” he said while addressing the ongoing debate on the Anna University student sexual assault case.
During a discussion on a calling attention motion brought by opposition parties, CM Stalin clarified that while the opposition named the university during the debate, he refrained from tarnishing the institution’s name. He described the incident involving the sexual assault of a student in Chennai as a heinous crime that no one could accept.
Justice Will Prevail
The CM asserted that the governmentâs priority is to stand by the victim and deliver justice. He dismissed allegations suggesting political motives and reiterated that Tamil Naduâs government has no agenda other than ensuring justice through lawful measures.
“If the accused had not been arrested or if the government had protected them, your criticisms would have been valid. However, in this case, the accused was arrested within hours, and evidence was collected promptly,” he added.
