Kalaignar demands action against those who arrested senior doctor

Slamming the ADMK regime for its worst record on law and order front but taking stringent action against aged senior doctor for his legitimate and earnest duty, DMK President Kalaignar urged the regime to take suitable action against those responsible for the wrong doing and unconditionally withdraw the case filed against Dr.N. Karunanidhi.
In a statement on March 30, Kalaignar said Dr. N.Karunanidhi (age 70) had served long as Professor of Medicine in government service and worked as Dean before his retirement. He was working as Personal doctor of Sivanthi Adityan, owner of ‘Daily Thanthi’ daily undergoing treatment in a private hospital. “Poor man! Possibly he was named as Karunanidhi, he was arrested by the ADMK regime’s police on March 27, and spent the whole night in ‘lock up’ under ‘the monitoring’ of the police. What was the crime committed by him?”
On a complaint by a sub-inspector Asaithambi that the doctor scolded and pushed him aside when he went to the hospital to look after security aspects for the arrival of Chief Minister Jayalalitha there. Immediately the ADMK government’s police plunged into action filing case under stringent IPC sections of preventing an official from discharging his duty, interfering, assaulting and severely injuring him, presented the doctor in front of 18th Metropolitan magistrate Anandavelu past midnight at his residence and lodged him in Puzhal prison. All these had happened on the same night when Jayalalitha visited Sivanthi Adityan at the hospital.
Kalaignar said the ADMK regime’s police was unable to trace the culprits in the murders of Ramajeyam in Tiruchi and Pottu Suresh in Madurai in spite of several months. But what was the big crime that the senior doctor committed to be arrested and lodged in prison overnight? Did he murder anybody? Did he rob or hijacked somebody?
The whole crime he committed was that he asked the sub-inspector who went there to oversee security arrangements prior to the visit of the CM, not to enter into the ICU with his shoes. For which the aged doctor was arrested, remanded in front of the magistrate and lodged in Puzhal prison all overnight. How atrocious? Is this the way law and order is maintained by this regime?
Strongly condemning the police action, Kalaignar said that had this happened during DMK rule, Jayalalitha would have issued statement that the Chief Minister in charge of the police department should resign. “But I do not want to say like that. Besides taking suitable action against those responsible for this wrong doing , I urge the ADMK regime to unconditionally withdraw the case against the doctor”, he said.
