சென்னையில் போதைபொருட்கள் விற்கபடுவதை ஆதராங்களோடு அவையில் எடுத்துக்காட்டியபோது, காவல்நிலையத்தில்தான் புகார் கொடுக்க வேண்டுமென்கிறார் முதல்வர்...

DMK working president M.K. Stalin strongly criticized Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami inside the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on July 19, 2017, for evading government accountability regarding the unchecked sale of banned narcotics across Chennai. Stalin recounted that when opposition legislators presented concrete physical evidence and samples of banned tobacco products openly purchased near schools and public intersections, the Chief Minister merely deflected the issue by advising members to file local police complaints.

The opposition leader stressed that the floor of the legislature is the premier democratic forum to hold the executive accountable for administrative failures. Advising lawmakers to visit local police precincts when confronting widespread illicit syndicates ignored that top police officials were named in bribery ledgers seized by tax agencies. Stalin pointed out that evasive ministerial replies demonstrated a refusal to confront organized syndicates operating with political patronage throughout urban centers.

Stalin reaffirmed that the DMK will persistently raise public health hazards and law enforcement lapses on behalf of citizens. He called for immediate administrative reforms to eliminate illicit drug distribution and hold patronizing officials accountable. The confrontation underscored Stalin's vigilant oversight in defense of public welfare and community safety.
