Dravidian Stock becomes Laughing Stock: This is what the DMK’s complaint against Maridhas said

YouTuber Maridhas was arrested on December 9th for a tweet that came in the light of the late Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat. A DMK functionary had lodged a complaint against the YouTuber, for his tweet that compared Tamil Nadu to Kashmir.

Yesterday, the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court quashed the FIRs registered against Maridhas. Post this news, the complaint made by the DMK functionary was shared across Twitter. A comical point made in the complaint has been revealed as the complainant has said, “As a result of the offending tweet there will be hatred & enmity between DMK partymen & the separatists.”

Looks like the true intentions and reason of worry of the DMK party has come out through this complaint as the complainant hurried with it. The registration of such a complaint itself is illegal. The judge G.R. Swaminathan, who heard the case made it a point to mention that they be more cautious the next time they make a complaint.

Like BJP Chief Annamalai said, not once have DMK IT wing functionaries been arrested and it is well known that they have shared way more seditious and defaming content across social media when DMK was the opposition party. One of the sections Maridhas was booked under was 124a (sedition). The irony is that, the current CM Stalin himself has been involved in seditious speech in so many instances when he was occupying the opposition.

Even recently a tweet by Senior Congress member John Ashok went completely unnoticed and saw no opposition, even though it was clearly promoting separatist ideas. This kind of bias is not new to the DMK government.
