Chennai: Tamil Nadu Leader of Opposition and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday accused the ruling TVK government of treating him "like a terrorist" after he was released on station bail in a case linked to his alleged remarks at a public meeting. The complainants claim that his comments were aimed at actor Trisha.

Speaking to reporters after his release, Stalin said the police action went against what the Tamil Nadu government had told the Madras High Court. He pointed out that the government's lawyer had informed the court that there was no plan to arrest him.

"In court, the government lawyer said they had no intention of arresting me. But in the name of questioning me, they deployed nearly 3,000 police personnel using public money and took me by road from Chennai to Thanjavur as if I were a terrorist," Stalin said.
