The BJP in Tamil Nadu has targeted the MK Stalin-led DMK government following the arrest of six terror suspects from the state, alleging that Tamil Nadu has turned into a breeding ground for terrorism due to the ruling party’s “appeasement politics.”

He further alleged that instead of acting in the best interests of the state and the country, the DMK government had “remained a mute spectator,” claiming this was being done in the name of appeasing its core vote bank.
