In a letter to the DGP, he recalled previous incidents when action was not taken against DMK functionaries who abused women and asked the DGP not to remain silent in this case. “We hope police do not turn a blind eye again and request you to kindly reprimand Shivaji Krishnamoorthy for abusing the constitutional head of the state,” said Annamalai.
