DMK Rajya Sabha MP MM Abdulla, who abused a female actress for a tweet a few days ago, wishes women’s day on March 8th, International Women’s Day.
In light of the migrant worker issue in Tamil Nadu, actress Kasthuri Shankar tweeted sarcastically, “It was an exaggerated claim that Tamilians attack north Indians. Tamil Nadu is a land that welcomes migrants and helps them thrive. Be it Telungar, Vadugar, Malayali, or from Mysore, or even if they travelled on a train without a ticket, they would not be beaten up and chased out, instead, they would be seated on a throne.”
Though she did not specifically name anyone about who travelled without tickets to Tamil Nadu, it is a sly remark on how Karunanidhi came to Tamil Nadu from Andhra, as told by his old friend and legendary writer Kannadhasan in his biography.
In response to Kasthuri Shankar’s tweet, DMK Rajya Sabha MP from Pudukottai, MM Abdulla, shared a Facebook post a few days ago attempting to indirectly abuse Kasthuri Shankar and her family.
MM Abdulla wrote on Facebook, “You’re saying Kalaignar didn’t have a ticket. However, there is no documentation of him saying this on any platform, nor has the TTR of the alleged train Karunanidhi travelled on stated anything about this claim anywhere. There is one additional option apart from the above-mentioned ones!!”
The only proof would possibly be that your grandmother would have travelled with Karunanidhi on the same train and would have narrated to you that “Kalaignar and myself only had ran away from home and took that train,” he stated.
This Facebook post of DMK MP Abdulla drew criticism a few days ago from people who lambasted him of sharing an offensive tweet about women.
After making such a derogatory post about women, he shares a “Happy Women’s Day” post on Twitter which praises women as creators and protectors of the Earth. “Happy Women’s Day to all the Women who are the source of life and the protectors of this world,” he said.
