Chennai, Nov ember 03: Dismissing as mischievous and malicious the charges that crime was on the rise under the DMK Government, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi today asserted that Tamil Nadu is one state having best law and order.
“Tamil Nadu is one of the states where law and order is best maintained. Due to vigil by my government, caste and communal clashes have not occurred. The charge that law and order situation has deteriorated is totally false,” he said in a statement.
Referring to an editorial in a Tamil daily in this regard, he said the allegation that law and order is deteriorating was mischievous and baseless.
Though the nature of crime was changing, the police was taking immediate action to nab the culprits.
Comparing the crime figures in 2004 when the AIADMK was in power with those in 2009, he said over 8.
