‘Not a routine action’: Congress says Tamil Nadu chief ‘confined’ under pretext of IT ‘search’ ahead of poll rally

Congress alleges the Income Tax department “unlawfully confined” Tamil Nadu chief K Selvaperunthagai, calling it a “blatant misuse” of agencies by the BJP to obstruct opposition campaigning ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s visit. The party claims this is intimidation, not routine action, aimed at silencing dissent during a crucial election period.
