During a Rajya Sabha session, MP Vaiko voiced concerns about Tamil Nadu fishermen, sparking a heated exchange. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman strongly objected to his remark, “Tamil Nadu, you enter Tamil Nadu, I’ll see you.”
Objecting to his threatening statement, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “He said one line, wait a minute, he may be very emotional sir but that one line he said is objectionable and I will seek your indulgence to remove it. He said, “You set foot in Tamil Nadu, and I will take care.” No good. No, it is wrong. You should not say that. What you say is wrong. Anyone can set foot on any place in this country, no one has any right on anyone else. This is atrocious. What language is this?”
