UDHAYANIDHI STALIN ARRESTED BY TN POLICE IN CHENNAI

The actor turned politician from the rich family of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) was recently appointed as the Youth Wing Secretary of DMK. He has been actively participating in various programmes and protests organised by DMK in Tamil Nadu. Udhayanidhi Stalin gained widespread attention during the bygone parliamentary election campaign.

The introduction of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill or CAB by the ruling BJP party did not go well with the larger part of Tamil Nadu and other states that are governed by India. While DMK expressed its strong opposition for the CAB, thousands of party members staged a protest against the bill at Saidapet junction, Chennai today.

During the protest, the police arrested Udhayanidhi and other party members saying that the protest was organized without seeking permission. The DMK cadres tried to halt the police vehicle that carried Udhayanidhi and other party members. The incident caused chaos for quite some time.

Regarding CAB - Chief Ministers of 3 states Amarinder Singh of Punjab, Pinarayi Vijayan of Kerala and Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal raised their voices against CAB and expressed their rejection.
