On 11 March 2022, DMK Rajya Sabha MP MM Abdulla unleashed an abusive tirade against two individuals, one of whom is a woman journalist, for speaking against DMK IT wing whose members allegedly harass anyone who criticizes the party on social media.
It all started with DMK supporters and cadres sharing a morphed image of political commentator ‘Savukku’ Shankar. The original image of Savukku Shankar standing with a few men at a tea shop with a file close to his armpit was morphed to look like a pimp in front of a brothel.

Enraged, Shankar stated that this was the ‘disgusting work’ of the DMK IT team of Udhayanidhi in Chinnamalai (in Chennai), which is allegedly funded by the DMK State deputy secretary of IT wing Karthik Mohan alias ‘Anna Nagar’ Karthi. Shankar implied that the Chinnamalai IT team was funded by Karthik Mohan’s money from G Square, a real estate company allegedly linked to the DMK’s first family. He also stated that DMK Rajya Sabha MP MM Abdulla visits the Chinnamalai IT wing twice a month to encourage them to engage in abusive tweets and post on those who criticize DMK on social media.
Soon after Savukku’s tweets accusing DMK IT wing members of abusive tweets, a few anonymous accounts supporting the DMK began trending meme templates depicting Savukku Shankar as a ‘pimp’.

DMK MP MM Abdulla responded to Savukku Shankar’s accusation by saying, “Savukku Shankar is claiming that the Chinnamalai IT team photoshopped him to look like a pimp. If the Chinnamalai IT team had done it, they would have depicted him as a prostitute in the Marina beach background, demanding ₹5 for hand j*b and ₹10 for blowj*b.”
When Savukku Shankar said that MK Stalin has made such a person who uses abusive language in public as a Member of Parliament, MM Abdulla abused again saying,”Hey Moothevi (a slur word about Hindu god). Then do you think MK Stalin will make a broker like you as MP?”
In response to the abusive rant, Savukku Shankar asked if the MP was drunk, to which MM Abdulla replied, “Do you think I’m a pimp like you to pour (drinks) and pimp?” DMK MP MM Abdulla further continued his rant.

In another tweet, he abused a female journalist Sonia Arunkumar, who also spoke against the cyber harassment meted out by a few Dravidian Stockists. Linking Savukku Shankar and Sonia Arunkumar sexually, DMK MP MM Abdulla said,” I’m now a member of Parliament. Had I been a troll master like before… I would have posted the ‘Kaathal’ movie meme template showing them (Shankar and Sonia) as ‘Maama and Maami, a good combination’. Now that I am an MP I should not do that. It is wrong.”
Journalist Sonia Arunkumar responded to the sexual remarks by saying, “This is how he serves the state by becoming an MP. His sole accomplishment was inspiring four retards to pursue anyone who criticized them. I would have referred to him disrespectfully if he hadn’t been an MP.
This abusive rant of DMK MP MM Abdulla received backlash on social media. However, no mainstream media has covered the DMK MP’s vulgar rant.
