A middle-aged woman who had approached DMK Minister KKSSR Ramachandran seeking old age pension for her mother was hit on the head by the Minister with the petition paper she had given him.

The DMK Minister was participating in a government function in Palavanatham village of Virudhunagar district.

A woman named Kalavathi, a resident of the village came with a petition to the DMK Minister requesting oldage pension for her 70-year-old mother.

In a video that has now gone viral, the DMK Minister can be seen hitting the woman with the same pettition paper that was given by her as she was lamenting her griefs and hardships.

Reacting to this, BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai lashed out at the DMK Minister asking if Tamil Nadu people were his slaves to be treated in such a manner.

He also demanded the resignation of the DMK Minister in 48 hours and added that BJP cadres would lay siege to his house if he doesn’t resign.

Meanwhile, the media in Tamil Nadu has been trying to cover the incident in favour of the Minister stating claiming that he hit her in a ‘friendly way’. It was reported that the woman who approached him, was the Minister’s relative and that he had only nudged her and did not hit.

In another video, reporters can be seen swarming over the lady prompting her to say that the DMK Minister hit her only in a ‘friendly way’ and did not treat her disrespectfully.
