The decision of the Tamil Nadu government to acquire land for a new airport in Parandur is highly condemnable. The forceful eviction of farmers and residents from their land is a violation of their fundamental rights.

The people of Parandur have been peacefully protesting against the land acquisition for over a year and a half. They have been expressing their concerns about the loss of their fertile land, water bodies, and homes. However, the DMK government has shown no regard for their concerns and has instead resorted to repressive measures.

The arrest of protesters, including women, elders, and farmers, is a gross violation of human rights. It is an attempt to silence dissent and suppress the legitimate concerns of the people.

The DMK, which had promised to protect the rights of farmers and marginalized communities, has now turned its back on them. This is a betrayal of the trust that the people had placed in the party.

The people of Parandur are determined to continue their fight for their land and their rights. They will not be cowed down by the government’s repressive measures.

We, the Naam Tamilar Katchi, strongly condemn the arrest of Parandur protesters and demand their immediate release. We also urge the Tamil Nadu government to immediately withdraw its plans to acquire land for the new airport.

In a democratic country, people have the right to protest peacefully against government policies. The DMK government should respect this right and engage in dialogue with the people of Parandur to find a solution that is acceptable to all stakeholders.

The people of Parandur have shown great courage and determination in their fight against land acquisition. Their struggle is an inspiration to all those who are fighting for their rights and against injustice.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Parandur and pledge our support to their struggle.

– Seeman Chief Coordinator Naam Tamilar Katchi
