Chennai: Ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in Tamil Nadu reasserted its commitment to continue action against land grabbing complaints in which many Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam men, including former ministers have been arrested.
"The Anti-Land Grabbing Cells established in every district by the state government have benefited innumerable poor innocent people who were coerced into selling their lands. Their lands have been restored to them," Governor K Rosaiah said in his address to the Assembly.
"I reassert this government's commitment to bring such land grabbers exploiting the poor and gullible to justice," he said.
