Jayalalithaa quotes

Jayalalithaa was an Indian politician and actress who served as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for several terms. A charismatic leader, she was renowned for her welfare schemes and strong leadership style. She continues to be remembered as one of Tamil Nadu’s most influential and celebrated political figures. Here are 2 of her quotes:

It is very strange and saddening to see that when such acts are perpetrated against the minorities, all political leaders rush to issue statements of condemnation. But when persons belonging to the majority are subjected to similar perpetration of heinous crimes, not a single political leader has so far issued a statement condemning this barbaric crime. Such acts of senseless violence should be condemned no matter who is responsible for them and no matter who the victims are. It is not as though a crime is a crime only if it is committed against the minorities and not so if it is committed against the majority community. This should be viewed as a crime committed against humanity...remind all the political leaders in India that it is not only the minorities who enjoy rights under the Constitution. The majority have rights too.
