"Every move to ban online gambling in tamil Nadu is possible only after great struggle and some loss of life. Even after taking 33 precious lives in 15 months, online gambling is still not banned," said BAMA president Anbumani Ramadoss. In this regard, he said on his twitter page, "Odisha woman Bandana Majki, who came to tamil Nadu in search of livelihood and was working as a laborer in Nallur, Karivalamvanta, tenkasi district, hanged herself after losing Rs. 70,000 in online gambling. This incident is very painful.
This is the 33rd suicide due to loss of money in online gambling since the high court ruled in august last year that the online gambling ban was invalid. This is the fourth suicide in the last two months. Every move to ban online gambling in tamil Nadu has been possible only after a great struggle and some loss of life. Despite claiming 33 precious lives in 15 months, online gambling is still not banned.
The Online Gambling Prohibition Ordinance has been repealed, however the governor has not yet signed the new law that the assembly passed. As a result, tamil Nadu will now serve as a hunting field for online gambling businesses. The danger that online gambling poses to tamil Nadu and its residents should be acknowledged by the state's governor. I firmly believe that the Assembly's Online Gambling Prohibition Act should be approved right away," he wrote in his post.
