Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Sunday demanded that a Lokayukta be constituted in Tamil Nadu to curb corruption.
He was here to take part in the 136th birth anniversary of Thanthai Periyar organised by the Vellore Thamizh Sangam. Answering a question on the Aavin milk adulteration racket, he told journalists that there was corruption in several government departments. “To check it, a Lokayukta should be formed in Tamil Nadu.”
Mr. Thirumavalavan said the Narendra Modi government was against Eelam Tamils. “Prior to the Lok Sabha elections, it seemed a Modi government would help the Tamils get freedom. Now, it follows the policy of the Congress” that headed the ruling coalition at the Centre.
