On 18 June 2025, Thamimun Ansari, President of the Manithaneya Jananayaga Katchi (MJK) and an ally of the DMK, shockingly announced that a protest to besiege the American Consulate in Chennai on 20 June 2025. The protest is being organized to condemn the United States for allegedly spreading war hysteria, inciting geopolitical tensions, and backing Israel’s continued ‘aggression’ in the Middle East.
In a post shared on social media, Ansari stated that, “Don’t Incite War!” “Siege the U.S. Consulate!” “MJK Chief M. Thamimun Ansari’s Statement!” Since the Cold War ended between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the United States has been working steadily to bring the world under its control. It continues to escalate the war in Europe by maintaining a NATO mercenary force. Similarly, it is stoking the flames of war in the Middle East by having Israel as its vassal and using it as a proxy. The encouragement and weapons that supplied by America to Israel is what keeps the Middle East in a state of perpetual war.”
Adding further, the statement said “For the past two years, Israel’s cruel attacks on Gaza in Palestine have been condemned throughout the world. Furthermore, when food distributions are taking place there on the initiative of the UN, Israeli Zionist forces are also killing the people who come running due to hunger. This is a cruelty the world has never seen. Currently, Israel has been launching attacks on Iran since last Friday. Both countries are now clashing. This has caused concern all over the world. This war is turning into one that can also cause economic devastation. America, which has been providing all kinds of assistance to Israel while claiming not to be directly involved in this war, is the primary culprit in this.”
“Therefore, it is announced that a democratic protest will be held by the Manithaneya Jananayaga Katchi to besiege the American Consulate in Chennai this coming Friday at 5 PM, condemning America for continuously spreading war frenzy, inciting tension, and supporting Israel’s atrocities in the Middle East. We request that pacifists, human rights activists, and righteous people participate in large numbers.”, the statement concluded.
The Islamist party’s youth wing also organized an online meeting for anti-Israel propaganda in which DMK-supporting Dravidianist Thirumurugan Gandhi was the chief speaker.
Previous Attack At US Consulate, Chennai
In September 2012, a violent protest erupted outside the U.S. Consulate in Chennai as hundreds of demonstrators, many linked to the Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK), stormed the premises in response to the controversial anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims.
Protesters hurled stones, shoes, and damaged security infrastructure, including CCTV cameras and windowpanes. Some scaled the compound wall and reached sensitive areas near the visa cabin. American symbols were desecrated, and effigies were set on fire. Despite the consulate’s fortified structure, only a small police contingent was present when the crowd broke through, prompting serious questions about local security preparedness.
Police eventually regained control after reinforcement arrived, arresting 86 individuals. Fortunately, no U.S. personnel were harmed in the incident.
