Political parties, including the principal Opposition AIADMK and some allies of the ruling DMK, condemned the ransacking and defiling of the house of YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar.
Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami said no one who had faith in democracy would tolerate this act of vandalism.
Describing the spraying of human faeces and sewage at Mr. Shankar’s house as shocking and condemnable, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader Thol. Thirumavalavan urged the government to act against the perpetrators. He believed that this act was “orchestrated to put the DMK in the dock.”
MDMK chief Vaiko said, “Only cowards who cannot counter opinion with another opinion will commit such an act.”
Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran said the attack was uncivilised and condemned the police “for not taking action”.
Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil urged the Chief Minister to ensure that appropriate action was taken.
