New Delhi: With violence breaking out in a number of places across Tamil Nadu following the arrest of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in the disproportionate assets case, the Home Ministry issued an advisory to the state government to enhance security to maintain law and order.
The Centre has also offered help to the state government in this concern. On Saturday, the Tamil Nadu Governor had also met top state bureaucrats to review law and order situation in the state.
Meanwhile, opposition party DMK has slammed AIADMK of spreading violence across the state and called for action from the Centre. Party chief M Karunanidhi wrote a letter to the President and Prime Minister in which he said," There was a complete breakdown in constitutional machinery leading to law and order problems. Innocent people and public property has been destroyed. Unless stringent measures are taken by state police and administration, we fear for the safety of the people of Tamil Nadu."
A Bangalore court on Saturday sentenced Jayalalithaa to four years in jail and also slapped a fine of Rs 100 crore on her in an 18-year-old corruption case under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
