The Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary, T.T.V. Dhinakaran, on Friday criticised the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government for not having launched the Singa Penn special police wing to address instances of violence against women.In a post on his social media handle, he wondered how Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, who had approved the formation of the proposed wing as one of the three proposals cleared on the day of his swearing in, would ensure the safety of women.Referring to a series of instances of crimes against women, Mr. Dhinakaran asked that if the situation would return to a normality only after the appointment of a full-fledged Director-General of Police, why should the State have “a government that indulges in horse-trading.”
