Tamil Nadu party passes resolution to form special wing to prevent crimes against women & children, urges state govt. to conduct caste census & implement 10.5% reservation.
The Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) in its general council meeting passed a resolution urging the state government to form a special wing to prevent crimes against women and children on Saturday.
The meeting was held at a marriage hall in Omalur in the district on Saturday, and was presided over by the party’s founder-president and MLA T. Velmurugan. Various resolutions, including urging the Tamil Nadu government to conduct a caste census and to implement 10.5% reservation in education and jobs for Vanniyars, were passed.
Speaking to the reporters on the sideline of the meeting, Mr. Velmurugan said, “We request the Chief Minister to consider providing seats to TVK in the upcoming parliamentary elections as we need representation in Parliament. Before the parliamentary elections, the Chief Minister should announce that the caste census will be conducted by the state government. Failing to announce would be a setback for the victory of the DMK-led alliance. People will teach the BJP alliance a lesson, Mr. Velmurugan added.
