CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran on Monday strongly criticised the DMK government over what he termed a “complete failure” to ensure the safety of women in the state, following the alleged sexual assault of a seven-year-old girl in Karur district.
In a strongly worded statement posted on social media, Nagenthran expressed deep anguish over reports that a youth, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, abducted and sexually assaulted the minor at Kalugaur near Kulithalai.
Describing the incident as “deeply distressing and shameful, ” he said such crimes reflect a serious collapse of law and order under the present dispensation.
The BJP leader alleged that crimes against women and children were increasing at an alarming rate across Tamil Nadu, blaming what he termed the “TASMAC model of governance” for encouraging alcohol abuse and social degradation.
