Annamalai calls Surya’s arrest a curb on freedom

Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai condemned this action and called it an attempt to ‘curb’ the freedom of expression. He tweeted and wrote, the arrest of Thiru Surya, state secretary of the Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP, is highly condemnable. His only mistake was to expose the double standards of the Communists, allies of the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam). Misusing government machinery to curtail freedom of expression and flinching at the slightest criticism is a sign of a democratically elected leader turning into a truly undemocratic and autocratic leader. He said, these arrests will not deter us. We will continue our efforts to bring out the truth.
