Some thoughts. Bear with me in this #thread. Jayalalithaa died on Dec 5, 2016. In the absence of a tall leader, TN suffered many attacks. Barely a month after she died, Vardah puyal hit Chennai resulting in bad damages. Ok, natural calamity, can't help it. (1/n)
But next came Jallikattu protests. Names of extreme Left wing radical organisations floated about. Makkal Adhigaram, Revolutionary Front of India and whatnot. This was not a spontaneous protest. It was engineered. (2/n)
Black t-shirts were distributed in villages around Alanganallur. Food and liquor was in free supply. Villagers thronged to sit in protest and why not? Who did all this? A certain illegal sand mafia working at the behest of a political party. (3/n)
Only one Tamil news channel's crew were allowed on Marina Beach. They set up a huge LED screen airing their own channel. Guess who owns it? Okay, so protest blueprint was set. Peaceful protests culminating in violence after a point. (4/n)
Then came the various protests against oil exploration. Fizzled out after a point coz there were no takers and EPS announced Delta a protected zone. Ok problem solved temporarily. Then came 8-lane expressway protests. (5/n)
That was big with sporadic clashes with the police. But EPS again stepped in and called it off so bussss happened. Same names came up in all protests Jallikattu onwards. All extreme LW radicals supported by one political party. Beautiful tango. (6/n)
And then Sterlite protests. An example in perfection in terms of organising protests. Money poured in from abroad. Resulted in the deaths of 13 innocents who believed the propaganda. (7/n)
Don't believe me. Aruna Jegadeesan report names the same names involved from Jallikattu onwards. So what do we understand from this? Than vinai thannai sudum. It's a matter of time. And I'll personally be waiting and watching. (n/n)
