Chennai, Dec 30 (NationPress) The chief coordinator of Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), Seeman, has vocally denounced the brutal murder of a migrant worker in Tiruttani, labeling the incident as a disgraceful mark on Tamil society and a direct result of the State government's inability to tackle drug abuse and crime.
Seeman highlighted the tragic death of Siraj, a migrant from Odisha, who was reportedly attacked and killed by a group of four youths under the influence of drugs while on a suburban train to Tiruttani.
The shocking imagery of the assault illustrates the perilous extent to which narcotics have infiltrated Tamil Nadu's youth, all under the so-called “Dravidian model of governance.”
“The horrific murder of Siraj by intoxicated individuals is not merely an assault on one person, but a disgrace to the entire Tamil nation. It reveals how deeply drugs have entrenched themselves in our society under the DMK administration,” Seeman stated.
He emphasized that the rampant spread of narcotics has transformed Tamil Nadu into a crime-infested region, resulting in a marked increase in murders, sexual assaults, and violent acts.
“The government's inability to manage drug trafficking has shattered social order. The primary cause of today's lawlessness is the uncontrolled sale of alcohol and narcotics,” he asserted.
Seeman pointed out that crimes are being committed daily, frequently by youths influenced by alcohol or drugs.
“Families are fracturing. Even blood relatives are turning against one another over minor disputes. This moral decay is a direct result of state-endorsed liquor sales,” he claimed.
The NTK leader also condemned violence directed towards migrant workers, asserting that attacks on individuals seeking livelihood in Tamil Nadu are equally intolerable.
“Whether it’s migrants being attacked or locals facing harm, every incident tarnishes our society,” he remarked.
Challenging the DMK government’s priorities, Seeman questioned why the ruling party, which previously opposed liquor sales during the prior AIADMK regime, is now hesitant to enforce prohibition.
“Why does the government stay silent on the rampant sale of ganja? Is the revenue from liquor more valuable than the lives of our citizens?” he demanded.
He further probed whether mere awareness videos could effectively combat drug abuse, cautioning that without substantial action, more young lives will face destruction.
“How many more lives must be lost before this government takes action?” he queried, emphasizing that the current state has left Tamil Nadu in a climate of fear and lawlessness.
Labeling the situation as “a moral and administrative failure,” Seeman called for immediate measures to enforce a liquor ban and crack down on narcotics, asserting that peace and safety can only be restored through such actions.
