CHENNAI: “If the comment is not appropriate, you can give a reply. However, it should not be allowed to turn into intimidation, threat and rowdiness. In this case, the fact that we will fire the police department if we criticize the Prime Minister shows the intolerance and arrogance of the BJP,” said K. Balakrishnan, state secretary of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of India.
In this regard, he said on his Twitter page, “Yesterday while traveling in the train, BJP spokesperson Narayanan Tirupathi continuously threatened a fellow passenger by saying, “I will throw him up, I am a member of the Railway Advisory Committee” for criticizing Prime Minister Modi. CPI(M) State Executive Committee member K. Samuelraj could not bear this. , Narayanan has tapped Tirupati.
But instead of realizing his mistake and correcting it, he misused his power as a ruling party and his responsibility as a member of the Railway Advisory Committee and launched the police. The railway police forced Samuel Raj to get off the train. The manner in which the Railway Police behaved in fear of the BJP is highly condemnable.
No one in public life is beyond criticism. Freedom of expression is a constitutionally guaranteed right. If the comment is not acceptable, you can comment back. However, it should never be allowed to become threatening, threatening and rowdy. In this case, the fact that they will launch the police if they criticize the Prime Minister shows the BJP’s intolerance and respect for power.
After doing all this, the CPI(M) strongly condemns K.Samuelraj’s speech by cutting and twisting it and publishing it in the public space as if he had committed a crime. I request the Southern Railway Police Department to take action against the policemen who behaved recklessly in this incident and BJP spokesperson Narayanan Tirupathi who threatened fellow passengers,” he posted.
