DMK MP and the party’s Deputy General Secretary A. Raja who is known for his abusive and uncouth remarks has once again hit below the belt on his political opponents.
Erode East assembly constituency has become a battle turf for the DMK and AIADMK with high pitched campaigns. The DMK has roped in its senior leaders to campaign for their alliance candidate EVKS Elangovan of the Congress party.
A Raja was canvassing votes for the candidate on the evening of Sunday (19 Fenruary 2023) when he made casteist remarks targetting AIADMK and BJP leaders belonging to a particular caste.
The DMK MP’s remarks came in light of the rising opposition to the pen statue for DMK’s late patriarch Karunanidhi.
Speaking at ‘Periyar Nagar’ in Erode, the DMK MP said “They say that Edappadi Palaniswami has studied till BA. Vanathi Srinivasan has studied law. Annamalai became IPS. That pen (Karunanidhi’s pen) put you under the Backward Class category and made you study. If not for that pen, Annamalai would’ve reared goats. Edappadi Palaniswami would be doing labour. Vanathi Srinivasan would be picking coconuts in some coconut farm.”
AIADMK Leader and Tamil Nadu Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami, BJP National Women’s Wing President and MLA Vanathi Srinivasan and Tamil Nadu BJP President K. Annamalai belong to the Kongu Vellala Gounder community.
This recent speech of A Raja is being seen as a casteist remark against the Gounder community. It is to be noted that A. Raja who allegedly belongs to the Scheduled Caste community is believed to be a practicing Christian as images of his wife’s funeral showed the rites being done in accordance with the Christian faith.
This is not the first time that A Raja has made personal remarks against political opponents in the heat of election campaign.
During the 2021 Assembly election campaign A. Raja attacking Edappadi K. Palaniswami said “Edappadi Palaniswami was born premature, and was born out of an illegitimate relationship.” while hailing his leaded MK Stalin.
A Raja is also known for his tirade against the Hindu faith and had called Hindu women as prostitutes quoting the Manusmriti. He had also said that all Shudras are children of prostitutes and they will remain so until they remain in Hinduism.

In Cuddalore district, a woman attempted suicide by setting herself on fire after being discriminated and attacked by a family belonging to a different community.
Kaviyarasan and Tamilselvi, who had an inter-caste marriage were living in Kilcheruvai village near Thittakudi, at the former’s house. Kaviyarasan had gone abroad, and Tamilselvi lived with her husband’s family.
However, since Tamilselvi belongs to a Scheduled Caste, it appears that the neighbours belonging to the Vanniyar caste were discriminating and harassing her. The neighbours had cut down the thorny trees and put them at the entrance of Tamilselvi’s house.
Shalin Maria Lawrence, a ‘Dalit Christian’ activist alleged that human urine were poured on the heads of her kids by a few goons.
She threatend to committ suicide with the kids .Still the perpetrators not arrested.Recently the caste goons assaulted the children by pouring human urine over their heads . I'm really tired of writing about Police and government inaction. Is Tamilnadu not for Dalits?
As the Tittakudi police did not take any action even after providing the video evidence, Tamilselvi along with her two children tried to set herself on fire in front of the Cuddalore SP office. The policemen on duty there stopped them and admitted them to Cuddalore government hospital.

Two Dalit girl children of studying in class 9 had consumed toilet cleaning chemical on 15 February 2023 attempting to end their lives aover alleged discrimination by their teacher from dominant Chettiar caste.
The incident happened at a government aided school in Chinnalampatti in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu.
According to sources, the girl’s father M Parthipan made the complaint with Periyanaickenpalayam police on Thursday (16 February 2023) seeking action against the headmistress under SC, ST (Prevention of atrocities) Act.
“On February 11, after returning from school, my daughter was seen disturbed. She refused to go to school the next day. When we enquired the reason, she said that she was made to clean the toilet in the school by Headmistress Kumareshwari citing her caste,” he said.
Following a complaint from the mother of one of the girls, Chinnalapatti police registered a case. The complainant said Maths teacher Premalatha abused the two girls by their caste name in front of other students on multiple occasions. Unable to bear the humiliation, the girls went to the school toilet and consumed toilet cleaner two days ago.
The teacher has been using caste slurs on the Arundhathiyar community girl for a long time. They were called “dirty, stinking” and were asked not to come to school by the teacher as the teacher was irritated by their castes.
A case has been booked but the teacher still not arrested. Police say that the teacher is absconding, according to reports.
On Friday (18 Febraury 2023), the school administration issued an order to dismiss the accused mathematics teacher Premalatha from the school.

Since taking office as the Prime Minister of India, PM Modi and his government have faced a constant battle against various vested interest groups and deep state masterminds. One of the key figures in this alleged conspiracy is billionaire investor George Soros, who is known for his foundation, Open Society Foundation (OSF). Soros has been accused of funding NGOs in various countries with the aim of destabilizing governments and mobilizing locals against private companies that pose a threat to the West’s business interests.
The conflict between Soros and PM Modi began in 2018, before the 2019 general elections in India. A France-based NGO, Asso Sherpa, filed a complaint to probe the Rafale deal signed between the Governments of India and France in 2016. It was later discovered that the Asso Sherpa receives funding from Soros’ OSF. The Ford Foundation, another organization with a controversial past, also supported the Asso Sherpa.
After PM Modi’s government implemented various long-pending reforms, including the revocation of Article 370 from J&K and the Citizenship Amendment Act, protests broke out across the country. Soros spoke out against the revocation of Article 370 and the Citizenship Amendment Act, accusing PM Modi of creating a Hindu nation through this legislation. His foundation members were also seen in protests against the Three Farm Laws.
A key figure in Soros’ OSF, Salil Shetty, joined a yatra led by Congress’ de-facto chief Rahul Gandhi in October 2022. Shetty is a former Secretary General of Amnesty International, which has repeatedly published fabricated reports on the PM Modi government and peddled anti-India narratives. Shetty has been actively involved in protests against the Farm Bills and the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Not only Shetty, but the daughter of former PM Manmohan Singh, Amrit Singh, is also working for one of Soros’ initiatives, the Open Society Justice Initiative. Various online news portals are receiving funds from Soros’ foundation and other organizations that engage in anti-India narratives to defame India at the world stage.
Recently, after short-seller Hindenburg published a report on the Adani Group, Soros demanded that PM Modi answer for the Adani issue. He further stated that he expects a democratic revival in India, which would destabilize the PM Modi-led government. This statement has fueled suspicion that it is a toolkit of the liberal cabal to collapse the Adani Group and cause trouble for the PM Modi-led government. As the 2024 elections draw near, more toolkits are expected to be released by the West to throw PM Modi out of power and replace him with a puppet of their choice.

The DMK, which has a history of demanding a separate ‘Dravida Nadu’ since its inception, has once again resorted to stoking separatism.
In the latest instance, the State Deputy Secretary of the party’s IT wing, has called for secession of all southern states to form a separate country called ‘United States of Dravidian Republic’.
On 16 February 2023, an anonymous account on Twitter posted a picture marking the 5 southern states and tagged the Prime Minister’s handle saying that the 5 southern states should be declared as a different country.
“I request our honourable pm @narendramodi to declare these south states as different country they don’t deserve to stay in our beautiful country plz modiji !..”, the handle had written.
Responding to this, DMK IT Wing Deputy Secretary Isai said that it is time for a “United States of Dravidian Republic”.
This is not the first time that the DMK has stoked separatism after it came to power in May 2021.
On 10 July 2021, just over a month since it came to power, the DMK IT wing’s official Twitter account quoted late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Annadurai, saying that the demand for a separate “Dravida Nadu” is still relevant.
"#திராவிட_நாடு கோரிக்கைதான் கைவிடப்பட்டது, ஆனால் அதற்கான காரணங்கள் அப்படியே உள்ளன"
DMK Higher Education Minister Ponmudi stirred controversy after he said that omitting the slogan “Jai Hind” is a timely change. In an interview with Thanthi TV’s Kelvikenna Bathil programme, Tamil Nadu Minister Ponmudi remarked that omitting the word “Jai Hind” in the Governor’s address to the Tamil Assembly is a timely move, and questioned what is wrong with not saying “Jai Hind.” He added that it was Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin’s decision to avoid using ‘Jai Hind.’ He said that, aside from the fact that the slogan ‘Jai Hind’ is in Hindi, the DMK have other reservations about adopting the slogan, which the minister never disclosed in the interview.
He also added that India was created only by the integration of 562 independent countries during independence and that it did not exist prior to then. The Minister went on to add that the claim that India created states for administrative convenience is incorrect, and that India was formed only by the integration of many countries.
The DMK’s separatist tweet came after numerous BJP leaders began attacking the DMK started referring the Central Government as ‘Ondriya Arasu’, which has separatist undertones which was retorted by BJP by tacitly supporting calls for carving out Kongu Naadu from Tamil Nadu.
In another instance, Vanniarasu, a leader of DMK alliance partner Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), had given a clarion call for making Tamil Nadu a separate nation from India. The VCK leader made the separatist call while addressing an event held in remembrance of Senkodi, the woman who self-immolated seeking the release of terrorists convicted of killing former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
More shocking and horrific news about the Christian Home ‘Anbu Jothi Ashramam’ and its owners B Jubin and J Maria emerges every day, with several accusing them of organ trafficking in addition to rape and murder charges.
On 13 February 2023, Tamil Nadu Police arrested the owners of Anbu Jothi Ashramam, B Jubin, and J Maria, on several charges, including rape, in a village in the Vizhuppuram district, based on a complaint filed by Salim Khan, whose father-in-law residing in the Ashram has been missing since August 2021.
Warden Muthumaari, a computer operator, Gopinath, an attendant, and driver Biju have also been booked.
With the assistance of volunteers, 142 survivors were rescued from the home. Survivors claimed that they were subjected to a range of different sufferings, including rape, torture after being chained and being left to be attacked by the monkeys they tamed. The team discovered that at least 15 of the inmates were missing and had no records, while those who remained in the home had contusions, bruises, and blood clots on their bodies and complained of torture and sexual assault.
This is not the first time Jubin and his associates have been arrested on serious charges by Tamil Nadu Police.
Abduct, Tonsure And Torture
Earlier in July 2022, The Commune had reported about 200 innocent people who were illegally abducted and held captive by different NGOs run by Christian missionaries. It was reported that these people were abducted for harvesting their organs to be sold in the illegal organ racket.
On 30 July 2022, a case was registered and six people were arrested which includes – B Jubin (Anbu Ashram, Vizhupuram); K. George (Paralogathin Pathai Trust, Chennai); V Balachandran (Meetpu Trust, Dharmapuri); C Arun (Anbu Jothi Ashram, Chennai); Symon Senthilkumar (Adaikkala Karangal, Coimbatore); Selvin (Pugalidam Trust, Chennai).
Jubin, the main suspect, was accused of abducting old people and destitutes from Coimbatore roads and housing them in a building belonging to the ‘Blesss India Children Home’ in Attukal near Thondamuthur, which was closed in 2015 due to violations under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Around 200 innocent people were rescued after being illegally abducted and held captive by various NGOs run by Christian missionaries, including Jubin’s Anbu Jothi Ashram, following the intervention of Coimbatore BJP cadres led by BJP Coimbatore district president Balaji Uthamaramasamy and a social activist named Kishore.

Locals in Vizhupuram claimed that Anbu Jothi Ashram, an unregistered home, used to hire a van and pick up destitute people in Vizhuppuram, luring them with three meals a day and a decent job under a safe roof.
In Coimbatore, a similar method was used to abduct destitutes. Natraj, a victim from Coimbatore, stated that four men forced him into the vehicle as he was returning from Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital. Another person who was waiting to get free lunch provided by some NGOs was forcibly taken into a vehicle, tonsured, and kept captive at the shelter. A man who had gone to pay school fees for his son was abducted when he was waiting for a bus to go to Pollachi.
A man who had come from Jharkhand to Coimbatore for work was abducted at the railway station. The NGO members burnt the PAN card, Aadhaar card, and the cash that he had. Many others who were detained claimed that the NGO took their belongings and documents, such as Aadhaar, PAN cards, and driving licences, and destroyed them.
When the people resisted, the NGO members allegedly told them that they could go to any police station they wanted and that nothing would happen. The illegal detention in Coimbatore came to light after the neighbourhood heard distressing cries from the building.
amount of hate spewed by ruling party on north indian guest workers reached a level where an illegal organ trading group abducted a well educated Jharkhand resident from coimbatore railway station, tonsured his head and held him captive in a remote location@HemantSorenJMMpic.twitter.com/vGD8f2tLlR
In another case, an elderly woman was abducted while sitting in a temple near her home in Kalveerampalayam, Marudamalai. The old lady’s relatives searched for and caught the vehicle, while the NGO members shaved her head, gave her only a nightie, and burned the clothes she was wearing.
The culprit Jubin was apprehended along with the vehicle used in the abduction. When confronted by the old lady’s relatives, Jubin stated, “I have obtained permission from the Superintendent of Police office to transfer destitute, mentally challenged people, and physically disabled people to Vizhuppuram.”

Christian Missionaries And Tamil Nadu Police Nexus
Prior to being arrested on 30 July 2022, Anbu Jothi Ashramam, led by Jubin and other Christian missionaries, had received support from Tamil Nadu police in the name of rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
The Coimbatore City Police Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU), led by City Police Commissioner V. Balakrishnan and AHTU Inspector R. Roslin, assisted eleven Christian missionary NGOs and trusts in transferring homeless people in the name of rescue efforts.
Adaikala Karangal, Anbu Jothi Ashram, Pasi Illa Tamilaham, Meetpu Trust, Paralogathin Pathai, Karunai Ullangal, Home for Hope, Atchayam Trust, United India, St. Joseph’s Hospice, and Saranaalayam were among the Christian missionary NGOs involved in the incident in Coimbatore.
Anbu Jothi Ashram Had Associated With Chennai Police Too
Under the Karunai Payanam initiative, the Greater Chennai Police Department collaborated with various NGOs to reunite mentally ill destitute found in various parts of the state with their families through Apna Ghar, an NGO in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. So far, 466 people have been sent to Rajasthan as part of the initiative.
Other Christian missionary organisations, including Jubin’s Anbu Jothi Ashramam, were involved in the Karunai Payanam initiative, which relocated homeless people from Chennai. However, the Greater Chennai Police Department has now stated that the Anbu Jothi Ashram NGO has been blacklisted and that they had only affiliated with them only for the Karunai Payanam initiative.
According to the Times of India, Jubin was photographed with DMK Minister PK Sekhar Babu and Chennai City Police Commissioner Shankar Jiwal. They also quoted a police officer as saying, “We checked his (Jubin’s) background and he did not have any criminal record. All the NGOs had taken pictures with the commissioner as they worked for a good cause.”
How and when was Jubin released who was earlier arrested in July 2022 on the same charges of illegally detaining and torturing people?
Given Jubin’s ties to top DMK leaders and police officers, people are concerned that if a thorough, non-biased investigation will be conducted in this case against Christian Home, given the DMK government’s murky track record of supporting problematic institutions in the past.
DMK Govt And Christian Missionaries
A group of Christian missionary organisations grouped together and launched the ‘Pasiyilla Tamizhagam’ initiative, in which homeless, destitute, mentally challenged, and other state people stranded in Tamil Nadu were transferred to their home state.
Along with top police officials, DMK Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) P. Sekarbabu was seen at the inauguration function of the ‘Pasi Illa Tamizhagam’ initiative, started by the Jubin of Anbu Jothi Illam.
Following the revelation of the incident of torture, rape and sexual assault, the Greater Chennai Police Department has distanced itself from the contentious Christian Missionary, stating that the NGO has been blacklisted.
Though the accused Jubin was arrested by Tamil Nadu police in Coimbatore in July 2022 after being caught red-handed while attempting to transfer homeless elderly people, he was released the next day and continued to engage in similar activities in other districts. This called into question the Tamil Nadu government’s credibility in handling the case without interference from Christian missionaries.
It is worth noting that Tamil Nadu BJP President K. Annamalai alleged that Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) Davidson Devasirvatham has close links with Christian Missionary groups and is working with an agenda of promoting a particular religion in the southern part of the state.
In another incident in the past, DMK MLA Inigo Irudayaraj felicitated the accused Sagaya Mary, who was allegedly involved in the suicide of 17-year-old schoolgirl Lavanya, when she came out on bail. Appavu, the Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Assembly and a DMK MLA who is expected to be impartial, stated in a Christian meeting that the DMK government was formed because of Christians. The DMK’s track record of going above and beyond the law to support Christian Missionaries is well known to the public.
The Need For CBI Investigation
Given that DMK Minister Sekarbabu, Coimbatore Commissioner Balakrishnan, and Chennai City Commissioner have all been linked to the Christian NGO Anbu Jothi Illam, Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai has demanded that the CBI investigate the case.
In a letter addressed to Union Home Minister Amith Shah, Annamalai said, “During the investigation, fake authorisation letters from police authorising the Ashram to bury dead bodies were found along with several incriminating pieces of evidence. It has also come to light that there are links to this trafficking network in Karnataka & Rajasthan.”
He added, “The couple has run this home since 2005, and unfortunately, illegal activity run by the couple Jubin Mary & Maria has gone unnoticed all these years. In 2021, 15 inmates moved from the Ashram in Villupuram were transferred to ARK Mission of India at KRC Road Doddagubbi, Bangalore, and all these 15 inmates are missing. This is a suspected case of organ trafficking, as no genuine records are maintained for these transfers and death in many cases.”
According to Annamalai, the CBI should look into the case given that DMK leaders and the NGO Anbu Jothi Ashram were involved in moving 160 homeless people to Rajasthan and there have been numerous allegations of human organ trafficking involving more than three states.

Just on the heels of the Supreme Court pro-actively ordering the Maharashtra government to ensure that no hate speeches are made at the “Hindu Jan Akrosh Morcha” in Mumbai last week, a Hindu organisation has moved the Supreme Court seeking action on a compilation of scores of hate speeches made by Muslim and Christian leaders against Hindus and Hinduism. It is noteworthy here that Hindu leaders are singularly targeted as hatemongers when in fact, most of the time their speeches are given as a counter to the rabid hate speeches by jihadists calling for the killing of Hindus in India or abusing Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
Justice K M Joseph headed bench had reportedly directed the Maharashtra government to ensure that no hate speeches were made at the rally and to video-graph the event and take action against anyone indulging in hate speech. Interestingly, the petition was filed by a Kerala resident and not someone from Maharashtra. So, when Solicitor General Tushar Mehta pointed out that a person from Kerala is being apprehensive without knowing what is happening in Mumbai, Justice Joseph replied that anyone could file the petition.
A Lucknow-based NGO named, “Hindu Front for Justice” headed by Ranjana Agnihotri inspired by the Supreme Court’s enthusiastic preemptive stance to put an end to ‘hate speech’ in the country, has moved a petition for similar directions to protect Hindus from routine hate speeches made by rabid jihadi Islamists and evangelist Christian missionaries.
Advocate Vishnu Jain, filing the plea for the petitioner listed out the horrifying Sar Tan Se Juda (beheading calls) processions taken out by Muslims brazenly to terrorize Hindu community at various places in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
The plea also provided evidence of recent hate speeches made by Bihar education minister Chandrashekhar Yadav against Ramcharit Manas. The plea further listed the virulent hate speeches inciting violence against Hindus delivered in the last two years by Peerzada Taha Siddiqui of Furfura Sharif, Hooghly, West Bengal; Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan; Asaduddin Owaisi; Maulana Ilyas Sharafuddin; Ajmer Dargah khadims Syed Aaadil Chisti and Syed Sarwar Chisti; AAP MLA Amanutallah Khan; and Waris Pathan.
The petition also provided evidence of hate speeches by Christian evangelist pastor George Ponnaiah; preacher Mohan C Lazarus and Bishop Ezra Sargunum of Tamil Nadu. The petition also provided details about the mocking of Hindu Gods and Goddesses under the garb of comedy by stand-up comedians like Mnawar Faruqui, Alexander Babu, Aadar Malik, Surleen Kaur and Sanjay Rajoura.
Notably, the Supreme Court had questioned the Delhi police recently for the delay in action and investigation into the FIRs lodged against those who had delivered alleged ‘hate speeches’ at a Dharam Sansad organized in Delhi in December 2021 and ordered it to complete the probe and file chargesheet expeditiously. Pertinently, the Delhi Police had earlier in the Delhi ‘Dharam Sansad’ case filed an Affidavit stating that there was no actionable evidence in the content of the speeches and proceedings at the event. On the insistence of the Supreme Court, the Delhi Police strangely changed its stance and filed an FIR five months later on the incident in May 2022. Suresh Chavhanke, the Chief Editor of Sudarshan News and one of the accused in the case, has stated in his defence that he only took a vow for Hindu Rashtra in the name of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj and there was no call for violence made against any religious community nor were any weapons brandished in the event.
Coming back to the plea filed by the Hindu NGO, in addition to the hate speeches it also listed 17 instances of hate crimes against Hindus, including the barbaric beheading of Kanhaiyalal, an innocent tailor in Rajasthan for merely forwarding a post supporting Nupur Sharma’s alleged statement on Mohammed and Ayesha’s marriage. Pertinently in the Nupur Sharma case, while Nupur Sharma is forced to go into hiding and shun public life due to the incessant violent beheading and gang-rape threats, given to her not only from Islamist jihadists in India but from the world over, Tasleem Rahmani who originally abused the Shivlinga found in Gyanvapi mosque and provoked Nupur Sharma to make the alleged statements on Mohammad is happily roaming free and continuing to spew venom in several national TV channel debates.
The Hinduphobic left-liberal media and leftist intellectuals that habitually hop to the Supreme Court at the drop of a hat and outrage on so-called ‘intolerant Hindus’, brush under the carpet this incessant provocative hatemongering against Hindus. The petition, therefore, requested the Supreme Court to direct the concerned governments to take strong action against the unabated hate speeches against Hindus in the country.
This petition filed by Ranjana Agnihotri through Advocate Vishnu Jain listing the hundreds of hate speeches and blood-curdling hate crimes committed against Hindus by Muslims and Christians puts the communal realities prevailing in India today in perspective and busts the fake biased narrative of Muslims being targeted in India by “intolerant” Hindus post 2014.
It is hoped that Justice KM Joseph headed bench would show the same seriousness in demanding action against the slew of hate crimes and hate speeches constantly made by Muslim and Christian leaders targeting Hindus in the same zealous spirit it has taken up one-sided complaints against purported ‘hate speeches’ made by Hindu leaders. It is also hoped that the hate speeches and Sar Tan Se Juda processions to petrify Hindus are not dismissed by the Supreme Court as mere “dissent as a safety valve of democracy”.
