Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan,
who has been reiterating that extremists are present in Tamil Nadu, today urged Chief Minister K Palaniswami to act tough against them to save the state from an impending 'big threat.'
The senior BJP leader said he has been warning of the presence of extremist elements in the state for the past one year and a half and "even during the regime of (late Chief Minister J) Jayalalithaa."
To a question on the state witnessing many protests, including the latest anti-Salem expressway agitations, he said it should be noted whether they were mere protests or "were being held with some kind of a conspiracy."
