Chennai: PMK chief Ramadoss has issued a statement regarding the ongoing protests in Tamil Nadu against former chief minister J Jayalalithaa's conviction. He said that the people should respect judiciary and expressed concern over the assault on judiciary.
He said that it raises questions on the future of democracy in the state. He said, "Jayalalithaa has gone to jail because of corruption and not because of protesting for Sri Lankan Tamils or fishermen issue etc. There is an attempt to portray that Jaya is innocent and the entire verdict against her is a conspiracy. If such activities are allowed, then it will set a bad precedent. It will also result in a situation where protests will be organised against judiciary and the judges."
Ramadoss has urged the media to expose this issue.'
Stone-pelting and torching of public property, attacks on mediapersons and forceful closure of shops had erupted across Tamil Nadu as mobs reacted to the sentencing of Jaya to four years imprisonment by a special court in Bangalore in a graft case.
