DMK president M.K. Stalin issued a strong condemnation following a violent assault on prominent social activist Piyush Manush in Salem, warning that such attacks on dissent threaten democratic freedoms across Tamil Nadu. Stalin characterized the physical assault as a perilous signal reminiscent of the violence suffered by independent commentators like Gauri Lankesh, cautioning that silencing public critics endangers constitutional liberties.

Stalin asserted that peaceful dissent and fearless public questioning form the bedrock of any vibrant democratic society. He emphasized that resorting to mob violence against environmental activists and independent voices demonstrates a ruthless attempt to crush intellectual discourse through intimidation. The DMK leader warned that administrative failure to protect civil society activists emboldens lawless elements and compromises public safety across the state.

Calling upon democratic forces to resist attacks on free expression through constitutional and peaceful mobilization, Stalin demanded swift police action to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice. He affirmed that the DMK will persistently champion democratic rights, protect vulnerable whistleblowers, and oppose any systematic efforts to stifle dissenting opinions in Tamil Nadu through fear and unlawful violence.
