The legal division of the DMK will stage a hunger strike on Saturday, July 6, 2024 against the three new federal criminal laws enacted by the BJP government.
In an announcement on Friday, N.R. Elango party legal wing secretary said that the protest would take place near Rajarathinam stadium in Egmore.
According to DMK, these three laws were not only contrary to the administration of justice but they also infringed upon State autonomy as well as basic human rights of Indian citizens and further turned Indian democracy to a police state. The “fascist” BJP regime has introduced these three criminal laws which are against the Constitution and anti-democratic, Mr.Elango said, in his statement.
Mr. Elango is going to lead this demonstration that will be preside over by DMK general secretary Duraimurugan with Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR & CE) Minister P.K.Sekarbabu, Health Minister Ma.Subramanian, DMK legal wing president R Viduthalai and joint secretary E.Paranthaman in attendance among others according to the statement.
