Take action against officials who arrested MIDS professor, Stalin urges T.N. government

DMK president M.K. Stalin has called for action against police officials who arrested MIDS professor Kalaiarasan, alleging they exceeded their authority. The professor was detained over a comment made on a fake ID. Stalin praised the professor for speaking out against perceived injustice. He criticized the creation of a society where questioning is not allowed, stating that good governance requires responsiveness to inquiries.

Stalin emphasized that democracy necessitates a government that accepts criticism and addresses its mistakes, asserting that criticism should be met with ideas, not through police intervention. He also condemned the escape of an autorickshaw driver who had been arrested for sexually assaulting a girl from the Kolathur police station.
