The Centre tonight asked the Tamil Nadu government to ensure law and order in the wake of reports of sporadic violence in the state after Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was convicted in a disproportionate asset case.
"The Home Ministry has issued an advisory to the Tamil Nadu government asking it to maintain law and order. The Home Ministry has offered full support to the state government to deal with any situation arising after the Chief Minister's conviction," a Home Ministry official said tonight.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was today convicted by a Bangalore court and sentenced to four years jail in an 18-year-old corruption case.
Her conviction led to sporadic violence in Tamil Nadu where public vehicles were attacked and shops closed.
