VCK seeks independent inquiry commission to probe Vengaivayal

CHENNAI: Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to constitute an independent one-member inquiry commission, led by a retired Supreme Court or High Court judge, to probe into the Vengaivayal issue. VCK president and Chidambaram MP Thol Thirumavalavan met Stalin at the secretariat on Monday and submitted a formal representation.

The party also urged the government to introduce a scheme for establishing commercial complexes in municipalities, town panchayats, and corporations to promote Dalit entrepreneurship and their economic upliftment. Highlighting government reports that indicate a rise in caste-based atrocities, VCK urged the state to implement legally binding measures to curb such violence effectively.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the CB-CID’s report on the Vengaivayal case, VCK insisted that the charge sheet should not be treated as the final report and reiterated the need for an independent inquiry.
