Interview with Chief Minister MK Stalin on the Anna University Case
Interviewer (I):
Recently, the case involving an accused individual connected with the Anna University rape incident has brought important attention.Could you provide your perspective on this matter?
MK Stalin (S):
The safety of women is of paramount importance to our government. In the case of the accused,Gnanasekaran,who is a roadside biryani vendor,I want to make it clear that he has not been shielded. While it’s true that he is a party supporter, I firmly believe that being a formal member of the ruling DMK is a different matter. There have been no formal ties,and I assure you that the man has faced the due process of law.
I:
Some political parties, such as the AIADMK and BJP, have criticized the DMK government in the wake of this incident. How do you respond to these allegations?
S:
The allegations are unfounded. The government under my leadership does not tolerate any shielding of culprits. To emphasize our commitment to justice, charges have been brought under the Goondas Act, ensuring that the accused faces the full force of the law.
I:
In your earlier statement, you mentioned the need to address the safety of women. Could you elaborate more on the steps your government is taking in this regard?
S:
Absolutely. We are working on multiple fronts. From strengthening our law enforcement mechanisms to increasing awareness and providing support systems for victims, we are committed to creating a safer environment for women in tamil Nadu. Moreover, our government is also focused on social programs that empower women, reducing their vulnerability.
I:
The Goondas Act is quite a severe measure. Why has this specific law been applied in this case?
S:
The Goondas Act is applicable in cases where the accused poses a threat to public safety and peace. Given the gravity of the charges and the need to ensure that such actions are strongly dissuaded,we have applied this Act. It sends a clear message that our government will not tolerate any form of crime against women or the public.
I:
what would you like to convey to the public amidst all these developments?
S:
To the public, I want to assure them that justice will be served in this case. We are committed to upholding the law and ensuring safety for all. I urge everyone to trust the judicial process and remain aware and vigilant against any form of crime or injustice.
