BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on Wednesday (February 5, 2025) alleged that sexual assault on women and girls has become a horrifying reality in Tamil Nadu, with drugs becoming an easily accessible commodity in the State.
Citing a report published in The Hindu, Mr. Annamalai said in a social media post that an 18-year-old girl was abducted in an autorickshaw outside the Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus in Kilambakkam and sexually assaulted. She was rescued by a passerby who called the police control room after hearing the girl’s cry for help.
Linking sexual crimes with drug abuse, Mr. Annamalai said the number of arrests made in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases in Tamil Nadu between 2022 and 2024 was only 1,122. In 2021 alone, the number of arrests in NDPS cases was 9,632, he added.
“How is the sale of ganja and methamphetamine on the rise in the State when the arrests are on the decline? Has the Tamil Nadu government deliberately become complacent to give drug peddlers a free run? How many more victims before authorities ensure safer streets for our sisters?” Mr. Annamalai asked.
“Earth Day celebrations have already started in Bengaluru, with campaigns at various colleges such as St. Josephs, and Christ University where life-size elephants made from the invasive species, Lantana Camera, have been travelling to spread the message of conservation and coexistence, along with expert talks from WWF India and Ravi Chellam of Metastring Foundation,” said the release.
