DMK Minister Mano Thangaraj, who is known for alleged audio in which he calls a widow to bed, made derogatory comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the inauguration of the new parliament building.
On May 28th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new parliament building and installed the historic Sengol, while Tamil Aadhenams sang Thevaaram songs inside the parliament.
Special poojas were performed by priests and Aadheenams before the Sengol was installed in the parliament. PM Modi, before receiving the Sengol from Aadhenams, prostrated before it as a mark of respect and to reflect Indian culture and tradition. While the image of PM Modi prostrating in front of the Sengol was widely circulated on social media, DMK Minister for Milk and Dairy Development Mano Thangaraj made disparaging remarks about PM Modi. Sharing the image on his twitter handle, Minister said, “Is he dead? (Is he breathing? ), does he have dignity and self-esteem?”

BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai slammed the DMK Minister calling his thoughts crooked.
The Bedrock of Dravidian politics is Slander & Abuse.
As crooked as your thought, as wicked as your party & your forsaken ideology, your hatred for this land’s culture has no end, @Manothangaraj.

Kushbu Sundar, a member of the National Commission for Women, slammed the DMK Minister Mano Thangaraj for his derogatory tweet. She said, “This man I thought finds pleasure in insulting women, enjoys dirty jokes on women, and laughs when women are spoken in a most degrading manner on a public platform. But here he proves he is way far too low. Insulting our PM and speaking about him in the most degrading manner shows his class and crass. Remember, even if politically on a different platform, he is the PM of this country & you should respect that. You are an insult to the position you hold. Apologize to Honorable PM Narendra Modi ji.”
