The DMK government in Tamil Nadu is in a spree of arresting its critics and political opponents with the Tamil Nadu police arresting Kalyanaraman of BJP Tamil Nadu for allegedly derogating Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and his late father Karunanidhi.
This comes within hours of the arrest of Seethayin Mainthan, a Tamil nationalist ideologue, who had spoken about the lesser known side of E.V. Ramasamy Naicker (known as ‘Periyar’ by his followers).
Kalyanaraman had in a tweet posted a picture of a page from book which talks about V. Anaimuthu’s comments on EVR’S wife Maniammai quoting from another book titled “Periyar Kolgaiku Kuzhithondiya Dravidar Kazhagam” (Dravidar Kazhagam, the one which buried Periyar’s principles).
In this, Anaimuthu sheds light on the relationship shared by Maniammai and K. Veeramani, the current head of Dravidar Kazhagam.
Kalyanaraman in his tweet said “These are the words of Anaimuthu who traveled with EVR and documented them later… Will they be arrested now for telling the truth ?”
ஈவெரா கூடவே இருந்து பயணப்பட்டு பிற்காலத்தில் அவற்றை ஆவணப்படுத்திய ஆனைமுத்து கூறியவை இவை… உண்மையைச் சொன்னால் கைது செய்வார்களா?? @mkstalin @AsiriyarKV @arivalayam @Suba_Vee pic.twitter.com/CNxuEwMAQz

In response to this tweet, a person on Twitter had said that EVR fought for women’s liberation. Responding to this, Kalyanaraman said “So, you mean to say he [EVR] visited brothels to liberate them? Then our Chief Minister MK Stalin’ father Karunanidhi must have also visited the Royapuram brothel for the same. Kannadasan must have wrongly mentioned in his book Vanavaasam“.
அதாவது அவர் தினமும் விபச்சாரிகள் வீட்டிற்கு போனது அவர்களை விடுதலை செய்ய தான் என்று சொல்ல வர??
அப்ப… நம்ம முதல்வரின் @mkstalin அப்பா கருணாநிதி ராயப்பேட்டை விபச்சாரி வீட்டிற்கு போனதும் அதே காரணத்துக்காகத்தான் இருக்கும். கண்ணதாசன் தான் வனவாசத்தில் ஏதோ தப்பா வித்திட்டார் போல… 😜 https://t.co/LBejw7uG8r
