DMK Minister TM Anbarasan sparked a significant uproar when a video surfaced capturing him making threatening statements towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking at a public event, the DMK Minister’s remarks implied a more aggressive stance, suggesting that if he weren’t holding ministerial office, he would resort to violence against PM Modi.
In the video, Anbarasan criticizes PM Modi’s leadership style, asserting that the Prime Minister’s threats against their party are unacceptable. He emphasizes the history and sacrifices of the DMK, indicating that they won’t back down easily from any challenges posed by the current administration.
He stated, “We have see many prime ministers, we haven’t seen a PM who spoke like this, He said he will eradicate the DMK, will you eradicate it? Let me tell you one thing, DMK is not an ordinary party it was built over the life sacrifice of many and was built by shedding blood. Those who said DMK would be eradicated have perished. DMK will stand strong. Remember that. You go elsewhere and see, I’m being soft because I am a minister else I will tear you apart into pieces.”
Many BJP functionaries on social media brought the problematic speech to spotlight. BJP Tamil Nadu social media functionary Karthik Gopinath, posted a video explaining the DMK Minister’s speech in Hindi.
Tamil Nadu BJP president, K Annamalai, strongly criticized hate speech from a DMK minister on 13 March 2024 in his official X handle expressed, “With frustration creeping up with the rise in Anti-incumbency in TN, DMK Ministers are going to the extent of issuing threats to our Hon PM Thiru@narendramodi avl. DMK will soon be vanishing from the political space for their constant rants such as these, divisive politics, corrupt nature, affiliation with Int’l drug peddlers, goondaism & misgovernance.”
