Crimes against women have gone up, says AIADMK
Thanjavur: Members of the AIADMK held a protest in Thanjavur on Friday, condemning the gangrape of a 34-year-old woman by her co-workers on May 12.
Addressing the gathering, deputy floor leader of the opposition, R B Udhayakumar said that crime rate and crimes against women have increased under the DMK govt, and the ruling party will lose in the upcoming assembly elections due to a law and order crisis.
Later, talking to reporters, Udhayakumar said the govt is still not answering opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami's questions about the culprits of infamous sexual assault cases that took place earlier.
Referring to chief minister M K Stalin's participation in NITI Aayog's governing council meeting in New Delhi, Udhayakumar said, "Stalin did not attend the previous three times. He is not going now for the people.
He is going to save himself. People are growing doubtful about whether he went to save crime offenders."
Several zonal and district-level functionaries and hundreds of cadres participated in the protest.
It maybe recalled that a woman working in a hardware shop was gang-raped by her co-workers near Thiruvidaimaruthur on May 12, when she was returning home after work. Four people took her to a construction site and sexually assaulted her.
