Dr. S. Ramadoss, the founder of the Pattali Makkal Katchi party (PMK) and a prominent figure in Tamil Nadu politics, has called out the state government for its inaction in addressing the issue of online gambling-related suicides. In a strongly worded statement, Dr. Ramadoss has demanded that the government take immediate steps to curb the growing trend of online gambling and provide support to those who have been affected by it.
The issue of online gambling has been a cause for concern in Tamil Nadu for quite some time now, with reports of individuals losing large sums of money and resorting to extreme measures such as suicide to escape their debts. In recent months, there has been a spate of incidents where young people have taken their own lives after losing money in online gambling games.
Dr. Ramadoss, who has been a vocal critic of online gambling and its impact on society, has expressed his deep concern over the rising number of suicides linked to this activity. He has called on the government to take immediate action to address the root causes of the problem and provide support to the victims and their families.
In his statement, Dr. Ramadoss has highlighted the need for stricter regulations on online gambling platforms and increased awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of engaging in such activities. He has also called for the establishment of counseling services and support groups to assist those who have been affected by online gambling addiction.
Furthermore, Dr. Ramadoss has questioned the Tamil Nadu government’s response to the issue, accusing it of turning a blind eye to the problem and failing to take meaningful action to protect its citizens. He has urged the government to prioritize the well-being of its people and take concrete steps to address the social and psychological impact of online gambling.
As the debate over the regulation of online gambling continues to intensify, Dr. Ramadoss’s call for action has added fuel to the fire. It remains to be seen whether the Tamil Nadu government will heed his warnings and take steps to address the growing crisis of online gambling-related suicides in the state.
