Udhayanidhi’s speech not befitting the office he holds: Thirumavalavan

Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader Thol. Thirumavalavan, on Tuesday, said Leader of Opposition. Udhayanidhi Stalin’s approach of employing a “double entendre” during his speech at a protest held to demand Tamil Nadu’s rights over Cauvery water in Thanjavur, was “inappropriate” and not befitting the post he held.

In a statement, Mr. Thirumavalavan added the State government would earn the goodwill among the public if it chooses not to imprison Mr Udhayanidhi Stalin, with the Budget Session in the State Assembly set to commence from August 5. He further said, “Under the present circumstances, such a course of action would also help create an environment in which all political parties and the general public can jointly raise their voice in support of Tamil Nadu's rights over Cauvery water and draw the attention of the Union Government of India to the issue.”
