Vijay says will drop cases against protesting farmers, teachers filed under DMK govt

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay announced that the current government would withdraw cases previously filed against protesting farmers and teachers during the previous DMK administration. These cases, which were initiated between May 2021 and 2026, reportedly caused ongoing difficulties for those involved due to pending legal action. Vijay criticized the former DMK government led by MK Stalin for handling peaceful protests in an 'inhumane' manner and emphasized the importance of supporting the 'just demands' of farmers and teachers. The decision aims to strengthen democratic rights and rebuild public trust in the government. Additionally, political parties like the CPI and PMK have called for similar actions regarding cases related to protests against NEET and the Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
