Chennai, The opposition DMK on Tuesday raised the killing of three persons, claimed to be Tamils, by the Karnataka forest department, and sought to know the steps taken by the Tamil Nadu government in ensuring justice to the affected families.
“The three had severe injuries, including broken bones. This was brutal killing. I would like to know what action this government has taken to condemn this. At least has the government sought an explanation from Karnataka government,” Udhayanidhi asked. He sought to know if Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay raised the issue at the Southern Zonal Council meeting or whether Tamil Nadu’s condemnation was personally conveyed to his Karnataka counterpart D K Shivakumar. At the very best, has a letter been written to the Karnataka government seeking an explanation?
Earlier reporting noted: “Last week, when the Karnataka chief minister (DK Shivakumar) was in Chennai to take part in the 31st Southern Regional Council meeting, did the Tamil Nadu government express its condemnation in person?”, he asked.
Earlier reporting noted: Udhayanidhi also wanted to know if the chief minister C Joseph Vijay-led state government wrote to counterpart Karnataka seeking an explanation. Earlier reporting noted: “I wish to know what action this government has taken against this incident.
Nevertheless, a detailed reply would be provided by the Law Minister soon. Speaker J C D Prabhakar responded by saying that a state minister had already provided a reply when the issue was raised by the Opposition parties in the Assembly on August 18.
