Karur police is functioning as a DMK functionary without the party’s dhoti, remarked senior BJP leader H. Raja, while addressing the media in Tenkasi on Sunday. Speaking to the mediapersons, he said, “The stampede that took place in Karur is unfortunate. “From what we see, that was not the case in Karur,” Mr. Raja added. Recalling the images shown in media, where several bodies were seen lying together, Mr. Raja questioned “Who is responsible for the stampede that killed so many? The State government must clarify this in its report.”He added that already there have been allegations that Karur SP is not functioning properly.
