@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu It’s the duty of the police to ensure protests follow the proper procedure and permissions. If anything goes wrong, the police are held responsible. This applies under a TVK government or even a Communist government. Please understand that.
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu Who said the way SIR was conducted was right? Did I ever say that? Don't divert the argument. Are you saying believing in the law of the land is stupid? Didn't the police give them a chance to leave before arresting them for continuing the protest at an unauthorised location?
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu Bro, what are you even saying? Are you saying the law of the land doesn't matter? The right to protest is fundamental, but it is still subject to reasonable restrictions under Article 19(3). Public protests can be regulated by law to maintain public order.
@_Sarram What kind of argument is that? SIR happened in Tamil Nadu too. They should have obtained permission and protested at a designated site instead of blocking roads and inconveniencing the public.
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu Dude, that's not how things work 😭. There are 15-20 designated protest sites in Chennai. Did they formally request permission and get rejected by the police? You can't just block a road and start protesting without following the proper process.
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu What the BJP did was a misuse of power, as Jantar Mantar is a designated protest site and no alternative was offered. My question is, which protest site did you request in Chennai that was denied, or were you planning to protest in the middle of the road?
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu Bro, you are missing my point. I am all for Article 19, but did the police deny your request for a protest site? If so, which alternative did they offer? That's where Article 19(3) comes in, allowing reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order.
@APunnaivalavan Mr. Punnaivalavan, just to clarify, when did the protesters seek permission for the October 10, 2026, protest in Chennai, and which venue did the authorities deny them? Or did they intend to block the road and protest without permission?
@MilleshM@Kuppan90@CMOTamilnadu You have every right to protest against anyone, but it’s also your responsibility to get permission and follow the rules. Freedom to protest doesn’t mean you can ignore the law.
@iamdatemike Mam, with all due respect, no government would allow a protest without proper permission, especially in the middle of the road. Forget TVK,even a Communist government wouldn’t allow it.
Tamil Nadu may be staring at an acute water crisis in an El Niño year, with water storage at major reservoirs across the state dropping to a critical level of 35.36 per cent of their total aggregate capacity.
@krithika_writes Don’t do the job of the DMK IT wing. Do the job of a journalist question everyone, keep the issues separate, and focus on the facts rather than using one issue to justify or defend another.
@krithika_writes By this logic, Krithika, why do you feel the need to defend Stalin’s words? Let the DMK IT wing do that. Kavin’s mother deserves justice, and that issue should absolutely be discussed and pursued. But why mix it with an entirely unrelated political issue?
@roguebits24@SanghiTami The exhaustion, heat, poor sleep, and lack of proper meals can also contribute to serious health problems, including heart attacks. For many, working this way isn’t a choice; it’s how they make ends meet.
@roguebits24@SanghiTami Yes, you’re right—the article also covers the 15–24 age group. What I’m saying is that it’s not just alcohol or accidents. Many men are also forced to work long hours doing physically demanding work in Tamil Nadu’s heat.
@memethirudi@rantnmusicevil Mam, respectfully, many men work 14–18 hours in harsh conditions just to support their families. Many don’t even have the luxury of a healthy meal or proper sleep. Please be empathetic towards their struggles.
