With 3 months elapsed and the TN Chief Secretary failing to either deny or grant Sanction to prosecute Mr. R.Rajiv Gandhi DMK office bearer, I am entitled to move the court on a defamation case against him based on SC case : Subramanian Swamy vs Manmohan Singh of 2012.

DMK spokesperson Rajiv Gandhi while responding to a political commentator on Twitter said “Had only the Shudras carried out Periyar’s instructions, they wouldn’t have to fight with people like you today to get justice, employment, rights, education, employment and equality. At 3% you are still encroaching a lot of the space.”.
Political commentator Sumanth Raman had shared a snippet of E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker (EVR)’s speech in which the anti-Hindu hate mongerer calls for killing Tamil Brahmins.
The incident was taken cognizance by Dr. Swamy after The Commune published an article about the same following which the BJP leader said that he has written to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin asking for the DMK to publicly apologize and remove the offender from the party post. He also said that he would move the High Court if not done.

He had also written to the Election Commission calling for cancelling the registration of DMK and withdrawal of its electoral symbol ‘rising sun’.
Dr. Swamy has noted with no action been taken despite 3 months having passed, he would be moving court to prosecute the DMK leader.
