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.

Protest in Chennai

He said the VCK would stage a protest in Chennai on September 23 against Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse addressing the U.N. General Assembly.
