On a day when the Supreme Court of India upheld the abrogation of Article 370 by the Narendra Modi government, I.N.D.I. Ally DMK MP MM Abdullah has made a shocking statement on the floor of Rajya Sabha that borderline calls for Kashmir’s secession on racial basis.
Quoting anti-Hindu and anti-India Dravidian demagogue EV Ramasamy Naicker (hailed as ‘Periyar’ by his followers), the DMK MP said “Every race has the right to self-determination. It is applicable for Kashmiri people as well.”
The DMK MP kept repeating the same lines and even called for “investigation of human rights abuses in Kashmir”.
“I propose the concrete steps to address the situation in Kashmir sir. Establish an independent commission to investigate human rights violation in Kashmir.“, the I.N.D.I. Ally DMK MP said.
The Vice President of India (Rajya Sabha Chairman) Jagdeep Dhankar slammed the DMK MP for his remarks and said that it would be expunged.
“Can we believe in Constitution with such kind of observations? It will be deleted. Your observations are expunged. Hon’ble Member, you’re abusing the platform. Abusing the platform. You’re not aware of what you’re saying. You’ve gone too far. I expunge your observations. You indicate racial determination?”, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar asked to which the DMK MP tried to save his face saying “No no no”.
But he repeated the same quote of EVR again emphasizing the Kashmir’s right to “self-determination” which is the language used by separatists for secession from India.

After #Congress’s protest against DMK, now DMK refuses to send any Spokespersons today to any channel to discuss #Kashmir.

MM Abdulla wasn’t the only DMK MP to make problematic statements on Kashmir in the floor of the House.
DMK MP Tiruchi Siva said that the if the I.N.D.I. Alliance comes to power, it would restore Article 370.
Article 370 was a temporary provision that granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and was abrogated by the Modi government on 5 August 2019.
DMK MP Abdullah: A Man Known For Abusing On Social Media
On 11 March 2022, DMK MP MM Abdulla unleashed an abusive tirade against two individuals, one of whom is a woman journalist, for speaking against DMK IT wing who were harassing anyone who criticizes the party on social media.
DMK MP MM Abdulla responded to Savukku Shankar’s accusation by saying, “Savukku Shankar is claiming that the Chinnamalai IT team photoshopped him to look like a pimp. If the Chinnamalai IT team had done it, they would have depicted him as a prostitute in the Marina beach background, demanding ₹5 for hand j*b and ₹10 for blowj*b.”
Prior to that, he had shared a Facebook post attempting to indirectly abuse actress 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.”
