CHENNAI: MDMK chief Vaiko on Wednesday urged the government to close down all TASMAC shops in the State if the administration is really interested in putting an end to sexual offences against women.

Reacting to the Bills adopted by the State Assembly to bring sexual offenders under the Goondas Act, he said mere laws could not ensure change in the society. “The root cause of all cultural erosion and sexual offences against women is alcoholism. As such, the government should close down liquor shops first”, he said.
