Though the Supreme Court had asked TN Govt not to go ahead with the bandh, in most of the places, the DMK functionaries were seen going around the places in auto rikshaws fitted with PA system (on the night of Sunday) announcing about busses not plyin on Monday. This was AFTER the court's order and was captured by many TV channels too. Is this not contempt of court by the TN Govt? What will the Supreme Cort do now? Will the UPA dissociate itself from the DMK and its local allies for this "contempt of court" or will it shamelssly continue the alliance?
Supreme Court did ask the TN Govt to deposit 100 Cr rupees for use in case the bandh is implemented and normal life gets affected. Has it been done? Who will monitor how this money be utilised?
This is the case of the Govt taking its citizens to ransom. Only in India it would happen and after some hue and cry, loss of some lives in the violence, life goes on as if nothing happened. Shame on the part of the Govt, the politicians.
It would be interesting to see how the Supreme Court would act now.
