Minister for Pure Sources S. Regupathy on Friday alleged the summons issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation to former Minister and DMK MLA V. Senthilbalaji within the Karur stampede case was an act of intimidating the DMK.

Chatting with journalists at Pudukottai, Mr. Regupathy mentioned Mr. Senthilbalaji had not dedicated any “sin” or “improper” aside from visiting the hospital to fulfill the individuals injured within the stampede. The DMK wouldn’t be cowed down by such actions, he mentioned, including that Mr. Senthilbalaji would face it boldly.
