Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday strongly defended the state's law and order situation in the State Assembly, hitting out at critics who he alleged were politicising the issue for electoral gains.
In a sharp rebuttal, CM Stalin said, "I am replying to those who say that the law & order situation is not good in the state for political gains. This is not Manipur, this is not Kashmir. Here, there were no deaths like the Uttar Pradesh Kumbh Mela. This is Tamil Nadu, don't forget that."
The Chief Minister’s remarks come amid ongoing criticism from opposition parties over isolated incidents of violence and crime. Stalin’s response drew clear comparisons to other states, suggesting that Tamil Nadu has maintained relative peace and stability despite attempts to create panic.
His statement sparked reactions across the political spectrum, with the Opposition accusing him of deflecting concerns, while his supporters hailed it as a bold assertion of Tamil Nadu’s governance standards.
