What is the stand of opposition leaders regarding the arrest of T.N. Minister
Explain the stand of opposition leaders on the arrest of the Tamil Nadu Minister, and analyze whether it is an act of vendetta or a lawful action.
- DMK leader M.K. Stalin and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi have both criticized the AIADMK government for what they perceive to be political vendetta. They allege that R.K. Nagar was targeted for his loyalty to VK Sasikala, who is currently in jail.
- BJP leader H. Raja has stated that the arrest was a result of internal party divisions within the AIADMK, and that the BJP was not involved.
- PMK leader S. Ramadoss has maintained that while the arrest may be seen as vendetta, it is ultimately a positive development for Tamil Nadu's democracy. He believes that corruption must be rooted out of politics, even if it means arresting politicians from your own party.
- CPI leader D. Raja has criticized the timing of the arrest, which comes just ahead of the crucial RK Nagar bypoll. He argues that it suggests a political motive rather than a genuine commitment to fighting corruption.
