CHENNAI: DMK working president M K Stalin on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami and DGP T K Rajendran over the anti-Sterlite violence at Tuticorin in which 11 other people were killed and scores injured.
He stated Palaniswami and Rajendran will have to take moral responsibility for the incident and surrender.
The DMK leader stated he dropped his plan to wait the swearing-in ceremony of H D Kumaraswamy as chief minister of Karnataka nowadays, to consult with the families of the deceased.
After visiting the injured in Tuticorin, Stalin criticised Palaniswami for not taking steps to consult with the spot or send his cabinet ministers to the world.
The DMK leader also visited the families of the ones injured at the port town in south Tamil Nadu.
"I strongly condemn the violence on behalf of the DMK. Chief Minister Palaniswami and DGP T K Rajendran should take up moral responsibility for the police action and resign," he advised journalists.
"Will@CMOTamilNadu take action against DGP for failing to maintain law and order? Will Chief Secretary explain her role in this entire episode? Will there be justice for #SterliteProtest?" he later stated in a tweet.
"Why was there not adequate police presence to maintain law and order during #SterliteProtest? Is it accurate to say that there was a total failure of State intelligence which led to these unfortunate deaths?" he stated in some other tweet.
Actor and Makkal Neethi Maiam president Kamal Haasan also visited the injured in Tuticorin and prolonged his condolences to the bereaved families.
Ator Rajinikanth also condemned the police action.
"The incident is due to the total negligence of the government. I strongly condemn the unlawful activities by the police," the actor stated in a video message that used to be shared on his reliable twitter handle.

Eleven persons have died in police firing throughout the anti-copper plant violence at Tuticorin to this point, while many were injured in clashes with safety staff.
