Stalin alleged that he was evicted forcefully from the Secretariat premises after he demanded to meet Chief Minister Palaniswami.”DMK would hold protests till the Chief Minister stepped down,” added Stalin.
Earlier on Tuesday, the police fired at the protest rally demanding the closure of the Sterlite Copper’s smelting unit in Thoothukudi. Around 13 people died in the firing while 60 persons, including police, suffered injuries in stone pelting and have been admitted to the Government Medical College Hospital in Thoothukudi.
