Maintaining social distancing, MK Stalin along with his family raised slogans against the State government's decision to shut the TASMACs with immediate effect. 

With COVID positive cases increasing everyday in the State, how could even the government announce of opening back the TASMACs now?, they criticised. 

"When the government is skeptical ofopening essential shops and industries, how come they don't have any skepticism in reopening TASMACs. Can decision by other states to open liquor outlets, be a precedence for Tamil Nadu to also open liquor outlets. Only a government with no concern for its people will resort to such moves", he lambasted through slogans.
