Commemorating the occasion of late DMK patriarch Karunanidhi’s birthday, DMK cadres put up a stage right in front of the Perumal Temple in Chennai’s Royapettah area and distributed chicken and mutton biryani to people.
On June 3, the cadres of the DMK observed the 98th birth anniversary of their late leader Karunanidhi. Due to the spread of COVID and the restrictions put in place by the government, Chief Stalin MK Stalin had appealed to the party cadres to celebrate the occasion in their homes.
However, at the Srinivasa Perumal Temple located in 118 East Ward of the Thousand Light constituency, DMK cadres erected a stage with a backdrop covering the entrance of the temple and distributed chicken and mutton biryani. The backdrop placed just outside the temple had the images of Karunanidhi, MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin.
DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran, MLA Ezhilan Naganathan, Regional Secretary of the party Anbudurai, General Committee Member VS Raj, Circle Secretary Yuvraj and many other executives participated in the biryani distribution event.
From the video evidence that has emerged it can be seen that those who came to get biryani, did not wear face masks or observe social distancing. The fact that non-vegetarian food was being provided in front of the Perumal temple has shocked the public living in the area. Hindu organizations have strongly condemned the incident.
