Will you acknowledge violence against Dalits, Ranjith asks CM

Filmmaker Pa. Ranjith on Saturday said there were increasing instances of atrocities against Dalits in the recent days, and asked whether the Chief Minister M.K. Stalin-led DMK government would acknowledge this. Reacting to Mr. Stalin’s ‘Ungalil Oruvan’ (one among you) post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Ranjith alleged that heinous caste-based atrocities were committed in Tamil Nadu without any hindrance. Mr. Ranjith also offered to submit a report, criticising the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department and legislators of reserved constituencies for being busy with other work.
