A well-known editor of a Tamil weekly was arrested Tuesday following a complaint from the Raj Bhavan over a series of articles
Condemning the arrest of Gopal, DMK President M K Stalin hit out at the Governor and AIADMK government for "imposing an undeclared Emergency and threatening media freedom."
Talking to reporters in Chennai, Radhakrishnan said: "...there are fears that if the matter came to the light, the political life of many politicians will become a question mark. So there there is a big conspiracy."
The Madras Reporters Guild and Madras Union of Journalists and Chennai Press Club condemned the arrest as "reprehensible, undemocratic and against the canons of free speech and expression."
