John Ashok, a functionary of the Indian National Congress from Tamil Nadu put out a tweet calling for Tamil Nadu to become a separate country.
On the arrest of YouTuber Maridhas, BJP Tamil Nadu chief K.Annamalai spoke at a Press Meet about how the arrest of the YouTuber was a violation of Fundamental Right. He had also added there are many who keep tweeting against the Central Government and not one arrest has been made for this purpose. Sharing this video, Political Analyst, Dr. Sumanth Raman tweeted saying, “Clear indication that there can be retaliation by filing FIR and arresting anti BJP social media users in TN by using Police from other States, if BJP supporters continue to be arrested by TN police for social media posts. @annamalai_k is throwing down the gauntlet.”

Replying to this, John Ashok, a Congress Member from Tamil Nadu has said, “I think it’s time for Tamil Nadu to become and Independent country.”
This tweet has attracted criticism from the BJP.
The MK Stalin-led DMK government in Tamil Nadu which had slapped sedition charges on Maridhas for comparing Tamil Nadu with Kashmir has not taken any action against the seditious tweet of the Congress member.
BJP Tamil Nadu Spokesperson SG Suryah has brought called for Tamil Nadu police tk step in & check his credentials & motive.
Senior Congress Member from Tamil Nadu who is apparently a “Dravidian Stock” wants a separate Independent Country. Time for @tnpoliceoffl to step in & check his credentials & motive.
Anyhow @INCTamilNadu or its figurehead President @KS_Alagiri won’t be acting on this separatist. pic.twitter.com/XeNzOvnkOP
