DMK offers legal aid to arrested CJP activists; Stalin signals political support

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced the DMK will provide legal representation to Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, activists of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) arrested in an ongoing case. This marks a direct political intervention by a major regional party in a legal matter, potentially escalating tensions with central authorities. The move signals DMK's alignment with leftist causes and could influence state-center relations.
