Chennai: Days after condemning the arrest of Youtuber Maridhas and making critical remarks against the ruling DMK, a delegation of BJP led by its Tamilnadu unit President K Annamalai on Sunday met Governor R N Ravi and submitted a memorandum in this regard.
According to BJP State secretary Karu Nagarajan, while the DMK government was arresting people like Maridhas for his critical facebook remarks against the DMK, it was not arresting others who too make such remarks.
He said the BJP has submitted copies of facebook/social media postsĀ put by 300 people for the speculative and derogatory comments overĀ the death of India’s first CDS Gen Bipin Rawat in a helicopter crash.
He said they have urged the Governor to direct the DGP to take actionĀ against them. Claiming that there was no freedom of expression in the State inĀ the DMK regime, he said cases were registered against 21 BJP
functionaries by the State government.
Sources said the Governor, who is currently on a tour of southern districts, will decide on BJP’s complaint after his return to Chennai.
