VCK leader condemns police’s ‘anti-Dalit mindset’
The Hindu
‘It is a protest against the bureaucracy’
VCK founder Thol. Thirumavalavan on Tuesday questioned the recent police action against the party’s women cadre in Salem’s Morur bus stand when they attempted to install a pole for the party flag.
Leading a protest against the incident in front of the Chennai Collectorate, he, however, made it clear that the relations between his party and the ruling DMK were intact and he was opposing only the “anti-Dalit mindset” of the police and officials. (Chief Minister M.K. Stalin handles the Police Department.)
“This is a protest against the bureaucracy and its functioning. People in the government create policies, but the bureaucrats implement it. Therefore, there is a need to flag the anti-Dalit mindset to the ruling dispensation. We will meet the Chief Minister regarding this,” he said.
