Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) Chief Coordinator Seeman has sharply criticized DMK Deputy General Secretary and Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi, accusing her of hypocrisy for professing to champion social justice while having a history of undermining Brahmins and promoting false atheism influenced by EV Ramasamy (Periyar). Seeman’s comments came in response to Kanimozhi’s criticism of his recent remarks about EVR, where she questioned his sudden critique of the leader.
NTK Chief Seeman, met with residents of the Perumal Hill area in Erode to hear their concerns. Following the meeting, he spoke to the media, addressing comments made by Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi. Seeman pointed out that Kanimozhi had criticized those who undermine EVRs legacy, specifically referencing DMK founder Annadurai and his father Karunanidhi. Seeman clarified that he wasn’t attacking EVR but simply discussing what EVR had said and written. He challenged Kanimozhi, questioning whether she had the courage to speak openly about EVR’s views, as her family, according to him, had criticized EVR the most, with Karunanidhi being the most prominent among them.
Seeman further questioned the DMK’s commitment to EVR’s ideals, particularly when it comes to women and caste eradication. He accused the DMK of hypocrisy, citing the party’s actions regarding women’s safety and their approach to social justice.
Seeman questioned DMK MP Kanimozhi’s commitment to the principles of caste abolition and atheism, accusing her of hypocrisy. He asked, “Are you truly a Periyarist? Is it in the principle of atheism? Didn’t you put sacred vibuthi on your son-in-law Udhayanidhi’s forehead? Should we accept you as an atheist? Let’s talk about social justice and women’s rights. Can you speak about what your party has actually done for women’s rights? You come forward to support EVR’s denial of untouchability and abolition of caste, but tell me—where has EVR actually upheld the abolition of caste? Can you tell us the reason why did you contest in Thoothukudi when there are so many constituencies across Tamil Nadu? Are you going to say or should I just tell us the reason? You could have contested in Chennai, Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Vellore, or Villupuram, but why Thoothukudi? Abolition of caste, right! Is it because of the misguided people there? You have deceived the naive people there, making them believe you belong to their caste. Why have you contested in Thoothukudi twice, convincing those naive people that you are one of them and belong to your community? They are too believing it. How can Karunanidhi’s daughter be a ‘Nadar’?”
Seeman claimed that the DMK’s behavior contradicted the principles of EVR, pointing out instances like the harassment of women on East Coast Road and the lack of justice in cases like the Pollachi sex scandal and the Thoothukudi shootings. He also criticized their alleged fake atheism, pointing out that Chief Minister Stalin’s wife, Durga Stalin, who is Kanimozhi’s sister-in-law, visits temples regularly, participates in temple consecration events, and performs rituals in the pooja room, all while chanting Sanskrit slogans.
Finally, Seeman contrasted the DMK’s approach with that of BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, who claimed she would never buy votes for money. He challenged Kanimozhi and her family to demonstrate the same integrity by contesting elections without resorting to vote buying.
