CHENNAI : Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and its alliance partners have decided to wear black in their respective houses on May 7 as a mark of protest against the state government's handling of the COVID-19 situation and particularly the reopening of liquor shops.
DMK and its allies jointly released a statement to wear black as a symbol of protest and raise slogans against the state as well as the Central governments 'on their failure in handling COVID-19 situation'.
This comes after the state government on Monday announced the opening of TASMAC outlets (state-run liquor shops) in all areas except in containment zones.
