Lol,That is a state matter.
I think you don't understand Indian federal structure.
State Police murdering protesting civilians is extremely worrying. This Hindu Taliban state claiming to be a democracy which murders its own people from Kashmir to Northeast to Tamil Nadu is not one it is a plutocracy.
This is really bad, has similarity to the tragedy of Jallianwala Bagh for which British Generals to this day are scorned.
DMK take orders from BJP? Lolz
Sterlite Protest: Speculation Rife That Police Firing Was Pre-Planned
This is the first time the Tamil Nadu government has responded to the protests – and it has responded with force.
Tens of thousands of protestors had gathered near V.V.T. signal in Thoothukudi on the morning of May 22 for a rally towards the Collectorate, demanding that the Sterlite unit be closed. While the rally had been announced at least 20 days ago, the district collector N. Venkatesh had issued an order imposing section 144 the previous day.
The police fired teargas at the protestors when they defied the ban, resulting in a clash between police and protestors. When the rally reached the Collector’s office, the police opened fire twice, killing several protestors. Sources say the police opened fire again at Threspuram, a fisher village, whose residents were spearheading protests in the evening.
“It is pre-planned, cold blooded murder,” says T. Velmurugan, leader of the Thamizhaga Vaazhvurimai Katchi, a local political party. “The police obviously want to quell the protests. We have reasons to believe that they have been bought over by Sterlite.”
Against judicial enquiry
However, activists summarily rejected the idea of a judicial enquiry into the killings. Tiphagne suggested that the National and State Human Rights Commissions should conduct a suo motoenquiry into the killings. Stalin Rajangam, a Dalit scholar, pointed out how judicial commissions of the past have only helped governments protect themselves, “legally and documentary wise”.
“From Kila Venmani in 1968, the victims have never been served with justice in any case of violence,” he said. “In 1999, 17 labourers drowned to death in Thamiraparani river (in Tirunelveli). They entered the river to escape police lathi charge and firing. They were only protesting seeking the release of fellow labourers of Manjolai estate, arrested for demanding better wages.”
“More recently, in 2011, six Dalits were killed in police firing in a rally to commemorate the memorial of Dalit leader Immanuel Sekaran. There were judicial commissions in all the cases but no justice for the victims,” he added..
Meanwhile, the Madurai Bench of the Madras high court is all set to pronounce its judgment in a case seeking a ban on the second plant being built by Sterlite. The petitioner, Professor Fathima, has approached the court saying the company had obtained an environmental clearance by providing fraudulent documents.

Pollution versus politics in the uneasy town of #Thoothukudi
It is believed that Tamil Nadu’s AIADMK government is providing protection to the Sterlite plant as the Vedanta chairman is said to be close to BJP bigwigs.
The AIADMK government, which is operating on an extremely thin line of support in the Assembly, is surviving on the basis of the BJP government at the Centre. Therefore, it is believed that the AIADMK government is being forced to toe the line of the Centre.
Unfortunately for the AIADMK government, it may be interested in going along with the political sentiment in Thoothukudi to close down the plant and also in line with the decision of Jayalalithaa herself, but is caught in a bind, as its political master, the BJP is inclined to support Vedanta’s Sterlite group. Therefore, the issue in Thoothukudi is pollution versus politics. There seems to be no easy solution to this quagmire.
