Chief Minister MK Stalin said on Friday that his government would never allow communal, racist and extremist forces to flourish in Tamil Nadu, and that the state would remain violence-free.

Denying the allegations made in the Assembly about the law and order situation in the state, he said the allegations should be specific. He asks if the state has witnessed communal or caste violence.

Referring to incidents that occurred under the previous AIADMK regime, he asks if innocent people lost their lives in police shootings and if crimes such as those that took place in Pollachi and Kodanad occurred under the government current. He said the state attracts a lot of investment from abroad as it remains a safe haven thanks to the efforts of the government.

Not against religion

Mr Stalin said a group was spreading rumors that the current government was rationalist and anti-religious, and did not maintain temples properly. The government was only against communalism, not against religion, he said.

He reiterated that the government was not against believers, but against those who use people’s religious faith for personal gain. Since the government came to power till October 31, 2022, he has reclaimed 3,150 acres of encroached land worth 3,657.48 crores belonging to temples and charities, he pointed out .

Claiming that true devotees praised the government, he said only those who did not like the government gaining goodwill criticized it.
