Stalin has returned after a nine-day official visit to Singapore and Japan

The movement for the Lok Sabha elections has intensified. Less than a year is left for the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, the BJP is running a 'Maha Sampark Abhiyan'. At the same time, many opposition leaders have also started trying to unite other parties. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday said his DMK will take all steps to coordinate with the opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Addressing reporters on his arrival in India from Japan, he accused the ruling BJP at the Centre of trying to "intimidate" opposition parties using agencies like income tax, CBI and ED. Last week, income tax raids were conducted on acquaintances of leaders associated with the Stalin cabinet.

In a bid to attract more investment in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister Stalin has returned after a nine-day official visit to Singapore and Japan. During this time he also traveled by bullet train.

Asked about Thursday's meeting with AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann and whether it was part of "coordination with the opposition", the DMK president said, "This effort is already on. This is nothing new. DMK will also join it wholeheartedly."

Asked about the 'Sengol' (sceptre) installed in the new Parliament building, and is it a symbol of Tamil pride? "We would have been really proud if it was truly from the Chola dynasty, as is being claimed.

Referring to their protest demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment, he said, "Sengol must have bowed down on the day our women wrestlers were attacked by the police."
