Firebrabd BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday said that he strongly believes that the sudden violence at Marina Beach in Chennai during Jallikattut protests was triggered by Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.
He even demanded that the Central government should impose President’s Rules in Tamil Nadu to redeem the state from the ‘naxals, jehadis and porkis’.
"President's Rule necessary. CRPF, BSF and Army must be mobilised for strike. It is now or never to recover TN from Naxals & Jehadis & Porkis," Sawmy tweeted.
Later, speaking to reporters, Swamy said, "Genuine agitators have dispersed. The main organiser said he is leaving Marina. Today there are people with Prabhakaran's and Hafiz Sayeed's posters. This is now an ISI-financed agitation."
Earlier in the day, the peaceful protest at Marina Beach turned violent as large posse of police personnel swooped on the huge crowd which had massed at the sprawling beach since January 17 and began to drag away the young protesters.
The state government on Sunday had organised Jallikattu at several places, but the protesters asked for a permanent solution. A group torched several vehicles parked at the Ice House police station.
At most protest venues across Tamil Nadu, slogans were raised against both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Panneerselvam, and there were random calls too demanding an independent Tamil state.
