Speaking at a public meeting at Rameswaram before flagging off BJP State president K. Annamalai’s ‘En Mann En Makkal’ yatra, he asked whether it was right to retain a jailed man as a Minister. He said Mr. Stalin would not ask the Minister to resign as he knew the latter would reveal all the secrets about the government’s corruption.
BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should be “ashamed” of allowing V. Senthilbalaji, arrested by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in an alleged money-laundering case, to continue as a Minister.
Speaking at a public meeting at Rameswaram before flagging off BJP State president K. Annamalai’s ‘En Mann En Makkal’ yatra, he asked whether it was right to retain a jailed man as a Minister.
He said Mr. Stalin would not ask the Minister to resign as he knew the latter would reveal all the secrets about the government’s corruption.
Mr. Shah termed the DMK government the “most corrupt government” in the country. Claiming that there was corruption in every government department in Tamil Nadu, he asked what had happened to the DMK’s over 500 election promises.
He accused the government of working against the welfare of the poor.
According to him, every tweet of Mr. Annamalai on corruption allegations against the DMK was “rattling” the Tamil Nadu government. He wondered what would happen by the time Mr. Annamalai completed the yatra, “exposing the government’s corruption”.
The yatra, he felt, would bring an end to the corrupt and dynastic politics in Tamil Nadu.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
