Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin Condemns Attacks on Minorities, Calls for Firm Action Against Riotous Groups

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin on Thursday asserted that attacks on minorities are unacceptable and said curbing riotous groups is a shared and urgent duty to be enforced with firm resolve.

Stalin said the true strength and character of the majority lies in ensuring that minorities live without fear. “When a few right-wing violent groups, acting in the name of the majority, indulge in attacks and riots, even as the PM participates in Christmas celebrations, it sends a disturbing message to the nation,” he said. After Manipur, alleged “reports of attacks on minorities are unacceptable to anyone who values harmony. Curbing riotous groups that divide society is therefore a shared and urgent duty, to be enforced with firm resolve.

Claiming a reported “74 per cent rise” in hate speech against minorities since the BJP assumed office at the Centre, he said it signalled “grave danger ahead.”
