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.",
