Insensitive Post By DMK Spokesperson Salma Amidst Cyclone Michaung Crisis Slammed By Netizens

While on the one hand, people were aiding rescuing of fellow Chennaiites stranded in the Cyclone Michaung and several others were forwarding SOS messages to fellow netizens on social media platform X, on the other, people like Salma, a DMK Spokesperson who also functions as the Joint Media Secretary, made a really insensitive (now deleted) post. She was commenting on a request for food for 20 families based out of T Nagar. The original post was made by film reviewer, Prasanth Rangasamy. It said, “20 families stranded in an apartment in tnagar without food. Please help them Chennaicorp. Brother @rajiv_dmk – please help them!”

Quoting this post, she wrote, “Have they licked clean the rice and dal at home? The announcements given by the government that the storm is coming are also for you. Simple people can say this.”

Netizens slammed her for her insensitivity in a time of crisis. 

Netizens also questioned the DMK for usurping the 4000 crores allocated for flood management as claimed by them. 

Some netizens also questioned her hypocrisy when she posted about a request made by a lady from Singapore who was visiting the city, for milk.

The post has been deleted following backlash from the public.
