AIADMK MLAs were seen wearing black shirts today in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly condemning the Kallakurichi illicit liqupr death incident. At that time, the AIADMK members went on a rampage seeking permission to discuss the Kallakurichi incident after adjourning the Question hour. The AIADMK MLAs staged walk out after Speaker Appavu informed them that they could discuss the issue after the Question hour.
Leader of Opposition Edappadi Palaniswami, who spoke to the media said that “we asked for permission to speak in the Legislative Assembly today because the people of Kallakurichi should get justice, but they did not permit us. So we walked out. We asked for permission to talk about the status of those who admitted to hospital after the consumption of illicit liquor and the treatment. As many as 183 people were affected and 55 people were reportedly in the tragedy. But the government is keeping calm.”
Demanding CBI inquiry into the incident, Palaniswami said “The number of fatalities has increased because of the wrong information given by the District Collector. The state police investigation will not be correct as the collector has already given the wrong information. We are demanding a CBI investigation as the people will not get justice if the state government investigates.”
He said that a CBI investigation is necessary to find the real culprits to uphold justice.
Meawhile, in the wake of the deaths in Kallakurichi in Tamil Nadu in which 50 people died, 250 liters of illicit liquor were seized and disposed off in the state’s Tiruchirapalli district.
