It has been reported that the reckless behavior of DMK Ministers Ponmudi and I Periyasamy caused a commotion near the airport special gate meant for Prime Minister Narendra Modi resulting in a serious breach of security.
Prime Minister Naremdrs Modi arrived in Chennai on 8 April 2023 for a one-day visit to inaugurate the Vande Bharat train between Chennai and Coimbatore, the new terminal building at Chennai Airport, and several other infrastructure projects.
As part of the Prime Minister’s security, a special route with security features was set up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to enter and exit the Chennai airport, which no other leaders can use. Meanwhile, an alternate entrance was set up for ministers, political party leaders, and other VVIPs.
PM Modi was to leave to Karnataka from the Chennai Airport. Political party leaders, VVIPs, and Tamil Nadu ministers arrived at the Chennai airport to send off Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During the send-off, while all other ministers and political party leaders entered through the entrance gate reserved for them, DMK Ministers Ponmudi and I. Periyasamy attempted to enter through the Prime Minister’s special entrance gate.
However, the Tamil Nadu police, who were on duty to watch over the Prime Minister’s security, refused to allow the DMK minister to enter through the gate reserved for the Prime Minister. This resulted in an altercation between DMK ministers and their assistants with the security personnel stationed in front of the gate.
As the argument continued for some time, the police officers assigned to the Prime Minister’s security had no choice but to let DMK minister Ponmudi and I Periyasamy through the special entrance reserved for the Prime Minister. After both DMK ministers entered through the special entrance gate, the police blocked it.
Many on social media condemned the DMK minister for seriously compromising the Prime Minister’s security.
These uncouth thug basturds have caused a serious security threat to the PM, this must not be taken lightly, demand immediate action on this.
