The ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), which was being blamed by its political adversaries for being “responsible” for the death of a young woman in a road accident in Pallikaranai on Thursday, asked its members to avoid “fully” putting up cut-outs and flex boards.
“Under no circumstance and for any reason,” should the cadre violate this stipulation, Deputy Chief Minister and the party co-ordinator O. Panneerselvam and Chief Minister and the AIADMK’s co-coordinator, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, said.
In a statement, the two leaders pointed out that they were “saddened” when they came to know that people were put to hardship due to “acts” committed by some persons “out of over-enthusasim, unmindful of consequences and ignorance of rules.”
They added that at the time of events of the party and the party workers’ private functions, the party cadre should not erect the banners that would create hurdles to the public.
Meanwhile, DMK president M.K. Stalin on Friday called upon his partymen not to put up vinyl posters, banners, cutouts, warning that he would not participate in functions if the organizers failed to heed to his advice.
Recalling his earlier message to partymen against the banner culture, Mr. Stalin said he was pained by the death of Subasri, who was killed in a road accident after posters put up by the AIADMK men fell on her.
“You may erect a couple of banners after obtaining permission from the authorities. Displaying them all over the place causing inconvenience to the public and motorists is unacceptable. It should be stopped,” he said in a statement.
Mr. Stalin also urged the party functionaries to strictly follow his direction to prove that the “DMK is a disciplined organisation.”
Compensation to kin
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri demanded that a compensation of ₹10 lakh be given to the family of Subasri while slamming the AIADMK for her death. “It is because the AIADMK cadre illegally put up banners that Subasri lost her life,” he said.
CPI (M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan condemned the ruling AIADMK slamming it for the death of Subasri, ‘due to misuse of their powers and atrocities of the ruling party’.
In a statement, Mr. Balakrishnan said when opposition parties want to paste posters, police officials do not give permission. “But when it comes to the ruling party, they turn a blind eye when banners, posters, cutouts are put up even for birthdays, weddings, party events. ”, he said.
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi president Thol. Thirumavalavan demanded that the family of the girl be given a compensation of ₹1 crore and a government job should be provided to one of her family members. Slamming the inaction of the police over banners of the ruling AIADMK, he said the police gave total freedom to the AIADMK cadre to erect banners and cutouts, despite strict orders of the courts against these.
“The government and the police are solely responsible for this death,” Mr. Thirumavalavan said.
Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan issued a directive to his party cadre to not put up banners, posters, boards on road sides, pavements and public places. “If there is a need to put up such banners, it should be done only with permission, as per rules and regulations,” he said.
