Speaking in the Tamil Nadu assembly during the winter session, Stalin said, “Members have mentioned the name of a university here. However, I don't want to name it or defame it, because it has contributed to all of us. With that sentiment, I am leaving the name aside. No one can accept what happened to a student in Chennai. Sexual assault on a student is cruel. Legislators have spoken on this issue, and except for one, all have expressed genuine concern. This one member, however, has spoken only to tarnish this government’s image,” Stalin said.
Stalin also blasted the opposition who seemed to politicize the issue, stating that the only aim of the government was to support the victim to legal justice.
“The opposition asks, ‘Who is that, sir?’ If you really have evidence, please provide it to the SIT that is investigating the case. Don't indulge in cheap activities for short-term political benefits,” he told the opposition.
“This government takes a strong stance against crimes committed against women. Some are trying to use this single incident to claim that women are unsafe, but this narrative will not resonate with the public,” Stalin added.
