In Tamil Nadu, the Chief Minister’s secretariat has trained its guns on the popular Tamil weekly Ananda Vikatan for running a comprehensive series on the governance of AIADMK government.

The series titled ‘Mantri-Tantri’ has been running for the past 30 weeks and the publication found itself facing not just a defamation suit but also muscle-flexing from the ruling party after party men allegedly disrupted supply of the publication in their districts.
