A few days ago, DMK’s poll strategist, Prashant Kishor, spoke up about the attack against migrant workers in Tamil Nadu. He also said he would release videos in support of this.
Today, he shared a video of NTK leader Seeman on Twitter, where Seeman is shown to be openly calling for violence against those speaking Hindi in Tamil Nadu. Prashant Kishor also questioned the state government over why no action has been taken against the likes of Seeman for their vitriolic utterances.
All those who used fake videos to incite hate & violence must be dealt with as per the law.
But this doesn’t absolve those who’re openly calling for violence against #Hindi speaking people in #TN

In the video, Seeman is seen taking pride (and vociferously cheered by his followers) when he says the north Indians will make a run from here, they will pack their bags and leave. “In 1 week, the entire migrant population will flee.”, he says in the video to a jubilant crowd. He also said he will file fake cases – ganja, eve teasing, sexual harassment, rape, and send 1000 of them at least to jail. If he does this, they will all move away from the state, he said.
Many of NTK followers were seen praising Seeman in Prashant Kishor’s tweet.

One state coordinator of NTK Abubacker came in support of Seeman’s xenophobic speech reiterating that NTK will do it if at all the party comes to power.
We'll definitely do that, Once we came to power… @PrashantKishor https://t.co/yyGSBdR7VU

A few of them attacked Prashant Kishor’s Brahmin identity saying that Aryans are trembling after seeing Tamil nationalism and that they must continue to remain in fear.
