Chennai, Nov 23 (IANS): Tamil Nadu's principal opposition party DMK on Monday warned the state police and Chief Minister K. Palaniswami of serious consequences if its election campaign is stopped.

A resolution to this effect was passed at the party's high level working committee meeting that was held at the party's headquarters here.

According to DMK, Palaniswami has been touring the state on the pretext of reviewing coronavirus prevention measures and converting government functions into political rallies.

Similarly, other ministers are also doing the same.

The DMK said the state police is not arresting the Chief Minister, Ministers, law makers and others as they covert government functions into political functions.

On the other hand, the police are not giving permission to the DMK to meet the people and hear their problems.

The DMK had kickstarted its massive pre assembly poll outreach programme on November 20.

The police had arrested DMK's youth wing leader Udayanidhi Stalin for holding a programme without police permission.

DMK said 15 party leaders will hold 15,000 meeting, travel 15,00 km, hold 10 lakh discussions to spread DMK President M. K. Stalin's message 'Towards the Dawn', in four phases.
