CPI asks CM Vijay to focus on law and order

Chennai: CPI state secretary M Veerapandian on Thursday urged chief minister C Joseph Vijay to focus on law and order issues on a war footing.Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of CPI protest against LPG price hike, Veerapandian said no time should be wasted in ensuring that law and order is maintained. CPI had organised the statewide protest condemning the hike in prices of domestic LPG, commercial LPG cylinders, petrol, diesel and CNG. They raised slogans against the BJP govt at the Centre for failing to protect traders and hoteliers.“Vijay can take time to implement poll promises but not for law and order. Police and intelligence department should be pressed into preventing crime incidents. Not just govt but the entire Tamil community should come forward to prevent crime against women and children,” Veerapandian said.
