The BJP slammed the DMK government over the brutal attack on a man hailing from Odisha on a running train in the southern state.Alleging that the law and order situation has completely collapsed in Tamil Nadu, Odisha BJP spokesperson Anil Biswal claimed that the DMK government was protecting the criminals and “failed” to provide security to the people even in public places.
The victim, identified as K Suraj (20) from Odisha, was on Saturday allegedly attacked by four juveniles while he was travelling in the general compartment of a Chennai-Tiruttani EMU local, he said, demanding a frast track trial of the case.
Biswal, in a post on social media, said, “A youth from Odisha has been brutally attacked with sickles in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu government must strongly respond with deterrent punishment to the criminal delinquent attackers. Terrible law & order in Tamil Nadu. Is DMK govt dead Mr @mkstalin?”
Biswal said that a social media video shows some people mercilessly attacking a young man from Odisha. “The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows how the criminals exhibited victory sign after the attack. What does it indicate? It appears that the Tamil Nadu government has no control over law and order in the state,” he said.
“The Odisha BJP demands a fast-track investigation into the incident and the resignation of Tamil Nadu Home minister. This incident is highly condemnable,” Biswal said.
