The Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam chief Vijayakanth represented to the Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah to help ensure law and order in the State.

Vijayakanth said in the representation to the Governor this morning that following the conviction of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa by a special court in Bangalore on Saturday on charges of corruption, there have been sporadic instances of violence across the State as supporters of the ruling party, the AIADMK, took to the streets demonstrating against the verdict.

Vijayakanth, while welcoming the court’s decision, said the protestors have disrupted public transport services and destroyed public property. Opposition party leaders and their houses are being targeted, he said.
