Those taken into custody should be straight away released,” Stalin stated in a commentary.

Those who protested on Tuesday too were arrested. I attraction to the state govt to straight away release all the ones arrested and start up talks to get to the bottom of their issues,” Thirunavukkarasar stated in a commentary.
