AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami has launched a fierce attack on Tamil Nadu’s DMK government, accusing it of failing to protect women amid rising crimes. With high-profile harassment and assault cases sparking outrage, the opposition demands urgent action from CM M.K. Stalin.
Rising Crimes Against Women in Tamil Nadu
Recent months have seen alarming incidents, including:
– A Chennai woman stalked by a group, triggering protests.
– A Coimbatore daylight assault with delayed police response.
Palaniswami, speaking in Salem, claimed, “The DMK prioritizes political vendettas over public safety. Their negligence is evident in these crimes.”

The DMK countered by citing initiatives like:
– All-women police stations.
– “Amma Patrol” for safer public spaces.
Law Minister S. Regupathy said, “AIADMK’s tenure had worse records. We’re establishing fast-track courts for gender violence.”
Activists Demand Action Beyond Politics
Women’s rights groups urge:
– Faster justice through strengthened laws.
– Police sensitization programs.
“Rhetoric won’t help—implement solutions now,” stressed activist Kavitha Sankaran.
