On Friday (December 18), Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader M.K. Stalin led a ‘hunger strike’ at Valluvar Kottam in Chennai against the recently passed farmer empowerment laws.
Its alliance partners namely Thol. Thirumavalavan’s Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Congress, Vaiko’s Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), Communist parties and the Dravida Kazhagam (DK) too participated in the hunger strike, chanting slogans against the Centre and State government.
Rabid Christian evangelist pastor Bishop Ezra Sargunam, who shares close ties with the DMK and is known for his hate speech against Hindus, also took part in the ‘hunger strike’. He had shared stage with DMK chief M.K. Stalin, MDMK chief Vaiko, Manithaneya Makkal Katchi leader Jawahirullah, and other leaders belonging to the opposition parties.
While speaking at the event, Ezra Sargunam said “Whatever we are speaking here, it should echo in Delhi. It should fall in the ears of Modi. He is not going to change his mind anyway. He is a man who has come to loot the country and is doing his job correctly. His duty is to support the four rich men. He doesn’t care about the poor. But he will keep saying ‘I was born poor, I sold tea, I am living my life for the poor’. But friends, he keeps doing exactly the opposite.”.
Adding further he said “Anybody with an iota of fear for God will not go against his conscience. That fellow, though he keeps talking about God is not God fearing! Neither does he fear people. Only if a man had lived with his wife atleast for 5 days would he know the difficulties of everyday life.”
Asking others on the stage to not take him wrong, Ezra Sargunam went on to say “Can’t you live with your wife after marriage even for a week?! What merits do you have to rule this country? This fake man.. We will be facing difficulties like these until this Modi is removed. He doesn’t know any difficulties. Only if he had raised children would he know the difficulties! We don’t even know with whom he lived! We are now stuck with him. Let us all pray to destroy him.”
All these statements were made in the presence of DMK chief M.K. Stalin and other opposition leaders. This speech of Ezra Sargunam has now received severe condemnation on social media.

Attack Modi all you must but attack his disastrous economic policies, his decimation of Institutions, his refusal to take questions…. there is so much to attack politically. But this is a disgrace. No one on stage thought it fit to intervene. https://t.co/ZOfcVmhuLY

Ezra Sargunam is know for his vitriolic speech against Hindus. Earlier in 2018, he had asked SDPI (a fanatic Islamic organization) to go all out against Hindus who are questioning them in the light of the murder of PMK functionary Ramalingam who had opposed Islamic conversions. He had promised support to Vaiko, Thirumavalavan and M.K.Stalin if they undertook this endeavour.
Best of #EzraSargunam https://t.co/KGVruWSFD8

He had said that there was nothing called the Hindu religion and instigated Christians to punch Hindus in the face and make them bleed if they did not recognize the truth.
"There is nothing called as a Hindu Religion, Punch them in their face couple of times, make them bleed and help them understand the truth" – Bishop Ezra Sargunam, now you know why M.K.Stalin wants to uproot Sanatana Dharma. pic.twitter.com/L8lwwZMVop
