The BJP leaders from North Indian States had spread rumours about the attack on migrant labourers with bad intentions alleges Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday.
Stalin, while responding to a series of questions under the ‘Ungalil Oruvan’ programme, said that the rumours started spreading a day after he spoke about the need for a united national-level alliance against the BJP. “In Tamil Nadu, various state people are living for many periods.
They never got affected at any time. For the past few years, many have been coming to Tamil Nadu in search of employment. In Tamil Nadu in any place, these people don’t have any problems. But few people created fake videos and spread false news. BJP members from North Indian States did this with bad intentions. You can understand the plot behind the fake news spreaders if you noticed that these were done the very next day after I spoke about the need for a united national-level alliance against the BJP,” said Stalin when asked about rumours that Migrant labourers are being attacked in Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile Tamil Nadu Director General of Police C Sylendra Babu on Thursday said that thorough investigation into the circulation of fake videos of alleged attacks on migrant workers in the state would reveal the real reason behind rumour-mongers spreading it.
The situation has returned to normal among the migrant workforce due to confidence-building measures taken by the government, but the police are strictly monitoring everything as it is “critical”, Babu told reporters here.
