Judgment on Nellai Kannan's Controversial Statements: Nellai Kannan, the most renowned and famous Tamil debate judge, has been arrested for spreading false and abusive statements. The 74-years-old is a well-known writer, orator, and poet in Tamil. Today, he was produced in the Tirunelveli Court and was suggested to be in remand under police custody until 13th January. On December 29, he participated in the STPI party's protest against CAA and NRC acts held at Melapalayam, Tirunelveli.
He condemned the recent actions that took Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah with some harsh comments. Recently, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has been opposed by millions of people around the country, due to its uneven and one-sided policies. Many youngsters came forward and denied this act by raising voice and slogans regarding this issue.
This created a controversy, and Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party members have lodged a complaint to the local police. They demanded to take strict actions against him. The Police Officials from Melapalayam have registered the FIR under 3 Sections.
