நோய்த்தொற்றின் எண்ணிக்கை அதிகரிக்கும் போது மதுக்கடைகளைத் திறந்து, சமூகத்தின், குடும்பங்களின் அமைதியைக் குலைக்கத் தயாராகும்...

DMK president M.K. Stalin urged citizens across Tamil Nadu to register resolute democratic protest against the AIADMK government's reckless decision to reopen liquor retail outlets while coronavirus infections surged rapidly across the state. Stalin denounced the administration for compromising the domestic peace, economic stability, and health security of working families by promoting alcohol sales when collective discipline and viral containment were paramount.

Stalin underscored that reopening liquor vends during a raging contagion demonstrated total governance failure and callous indifference to citizen welfare. By permitting large crowds outside shops, the administration actively created dangerous superspreader conditions, threatening to wipe out the hard-won gains of preceding weeks of strict lockdown. He called upon cadres and citizens to wear black badges and condemn the government's negligent pandemic response.

Stalin declared that democratic resistance remains necessary when an administration places commercial revenue ahead of human survival. He demanded the immediate closure of all liquor stores and urged authorities to refocus state resources toward expanding medical treatment and universal food distribution. Stalin affirmed that the DMK will stand beside families in safeguarding community health and dignity.
