யார் தூண்டுதலுக்கும் இடம் கொடுத்து விடாமல், அமைதி வழியில் அனைத்து கட்சியினரையும் ஒருங்கிணைத்து முழு அடைப்பு அறப்போராட்டத்தை நடத்திட வேண்டும்...

DMK working president M.K. Stalin issued a crucial directive to party cadres and friendly political organizations on April 24, 2017, urging them to conduct the upcoming statewide general strike with utmost peace and discipline. Stalin instructed demonstrators to remain strictly committed to non-violent methods and avoid falling prey to any external provocations or deliberate disruptions. He underlined that the moral authority of the protest lay in its dignified, democratic conduct on behalf of farmers.

Stalin emphasized that the bandh aimed to awaken the conscience of state and central authorities regarding severe agrarian devastation, not to cause hardship for ordinary citizens. He urged organizers to coordinate harmoniously with merchants' associations, trade unions, and public transport operators, ensuring that emergency services, medical supplies, and essential utilities were fully exempted. A disciplined demonstration, he argued, would draw maximum public empathy and effectively amplify farmers' desperate pleas for debt relief.

The DMK leader called on district functionaries to lead by personal example and maintain continuous dialogue with all participating groups. Stalin reiterated that the DMK's historic tradition of peaceful mass mobilization would ensure that the people's righteous voice resonates clearly without giving any pretext for state repression.
