In a shameful display of toxic abusive politics, a goon from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has hurled vile abuse at Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu — addressing him repeatedly as “that dog” — simply for trying to help uplift the poorest through philanthropic support for temple-building in Dalit communities.
At a VCK meeting presided by Thirumavalavan’s close aide Vanni Arasu, one VCK cadre on stage said “Acting in favour of BJP, that dog! That dog named Sridhar Vembu has started a direct attack on our “ezhuchi thamizhar” (revolutionary Tamil referring to his VCK head Thirumavalavan). In slums where we (Dalits) are strong and in majority, in areas where our cheetahs (VCK cadres) are there, he’s saying he’ll build temples and splurging money – 5 lakhs, 4 lakhs, 2 lakhs in people’s accounts. That Zoho, which has around 24000 crores as assets, its head Sridhar Vembu is entering our area by saying that he’ll build temples. Please don’t take that money.”
He further went on to say “For him, there is another dog, a scoundrel dog. Through that dog, he’s sending money. Don’t fall prey to that. Today, the person who is getting money, don’t think that you received money, he’s just coming and going, we’ll just put some 50 votes. Such situation should not come. These BJP people are spoiling the nation today.”
The VCK goon’s language — referring to Vembu as a “dog,” calling his associates “scoundrel dogs,” has been called out by many on social media.

Sridhar Vembu’s Actual Intentions
Sridhar Vembu, one of India’s most visionary entrepreneurs, has consistently spoken about the need for “Dharmic Capitalism” — channeling the success of enterprise toward sustainable development, rural education, and yes: the support of temple-building modeled on ancient Tamil kings, as a celebration of the region’s heritage.
Who, except blinkered political opportunists, could object to using private wealth to rebuild the social and spiritual fabric in villages long neglected by both government and self-serving activists? Vembu’s focus on local empowerment and inclusion stands in stark contrast to the negative, divisive rhetoric pushed by rabid Dravidianist VCK elements.
