சென்னை வண்ணாரப்பேட்டையில் 32-வது நாளாகத் தொடரும் #AntiCAAprotests-ல் பங்கேற்றிருப்போரை நேரில் சென்று சந்தித்தேன். #COVID19 வைரஸ் அச்சுறுத்தல்...

DMK president M.K. Stalin visited the protest site at Old Washermanpet in Chennai, where citizens had conducted an uninterrupted demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act for thirty-two days. Stalin interacted directly with protest leaders, community elders, and participants, commending their steadfast democratic dedication, endurance, and courage in defending constitutional principles. However, highlighting the rapidly escalating danger of coronavirus transmission in dense public gatherings, Stalin appealed to the organizers to temporarily suspend their mass agitation in the interest of public safety.

Stalin emphasized that protecting community health and saving human lives must remain the paramount consideration during an unprecedented global pandemic. While reiterating his uncompromising ideological opposition to the discriminatory citizenship law, Stalin explained that large public crowds present extreme epidemiological hazards. Suspending physical gatherings does not signal retreat from constitutional values, but rather demonstrates supreme civic maturity and collective responsibility during a health emergency.

Stalin assured the gathering that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam will continue championing their constitutional demands in legislative chambers and public forums. He praised the demonstrators for their dignified democratic resistance. Stalin concluded by urging all participants to prioritize their personal health, adhere to medical advisories, and safeguard their families against viral infection.
