"This is an interim stay by the SC, there is nothing big to cheer about, it is not a judgement, it is just an observation. This interim stay can be vacated at any point of time. Supreme Court has not given a clean chit to DMK in this liquor scam of TASMAC. Nothing big to cheer about," Sathyan told ANI in Chennai.

The bench led by Chief Justice of India B R Gavai also notified the ED and remarked that the federal agency is crossing all limits. "ED is crossing all limits.

AIADMK Kovai Sathyan slams Congress for 'selective patriotism' over India's strikes on Pakistan
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 15 (ANI): All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) National Spokesperson Kovai Sathyan on Thursday strongly criticised the Congress party, accusing it of selective patriotism and undermining India's global standing by questioning the Centre's actions against Pakistan. Speaking to ANI, Sathyan said, 'Congress, which doesn't have the spine to make a statement against Turkey, is now talking about the actions of the Defence Minister and about the actions of the Prime Minister.' He also pointed to international appreciation, including remarks from the Pentagon, for India's measured military response. He referred to India's recent retaliatory strikes on Pakistan following ceasefire violations and terror activity, highlighting that the Pentagon acknowledged India's response as measured and professional. 'The Pentagon official is praising India's action against Pakistan. Not even one civilian was killed in the retaliation, whereas in India, precious civilian lives were lost in Jammu and Kashmir,' he said. Calling for national unity, Sathyan said, 'Isn't it a shame rather than staying united, they're trying to pick nuances of these interactions where India's pride is now in the entire globe. This is the time to stay united; that is what patriotism means. It seems like Congress has got selective patriotism. So whenever there is a victory for India, they come and join the bandwagon to celebrate, but they pick and choose some political narratives which can lead to division in the name of caste, creed and religion.' The AIADMK leader further criticised the opposition party for seeking a joint parliamentary statement to question the government's actions on national security. 'Congress should feel ashamed of themselves.. Instead of supporting measures that have brought India global recognition, they are trying to politicise it,' he added. Earlier today, BJP leader Nalin Kohli slammed Congress over its announcement to hold 'Jai Hind' rallies, highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'silence' on the role of the United States in announcing a 'ceasefire' between India and Pakistan. Kohli said that the opposition party had a habit of asking questions but 'runs away' when asked to respond to them. The BJP leader further criticised Congress and its leadership for 'not believing' the Indian armed forces. Accusing Congress of indulging in politics, he said that the opposition party had questioned surgical strikes earlier, demanding evidence, and they were doing it again. Congress has announced that it will hold 'Jai Hind' rallies in various states to ask questions to the government regarding the chain of events leading to the 'ceasefire' between Indian and Pakistan, which was announced by US President Donald Trump first. Senior Congress leader and MP Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday accused the BJP of politicising 'Operation Sindoor' and said there are reports that PM Modi will meet Chief Ministers of NDA-ruled states over Operation Sindoor and India's effective response to subsequent Pakistan aggression. 'Politicisation of Operation Sindoor is wrong. We have never politicised the issues of security. We have this information that PM Modi will meet the NDA Chief Ministers on May 25. What is the mistake of the CMs of Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, HP, Punjab, J&K? What is this if not politicisation? On one hand, PM Modi is not answering serious questions, not attending all-party meetings and on the other hand, he is having meetings with NDA CMs...' he said while addressing a press briefing. Ramesh also accused the government of being silent over the remarks of United States leaders about brokering an agreement for stopping military action and firing between India and Pakistan. (ANI)
