VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan posts tweet insulting Indian army

On Thursday (May 28), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader and Member of Lok Sabha from Chidambaram, posted a picture along with a tweet that said “Our troops at the India-China border are catching a ‘go back’ banner!”

At a time when tensions along the Indo-China border at Ladakh and Sikkim has been on the rise, the tweet by the MP has received flak for its trivializing and belittling tone.

The tweet in Tamil translates to:

Donald Trump is waiting to appear even without getting summoned. He says he is ready to do ‘panchayat’ whenever there is friction with Pakistan or China. Is he talking supportive of Modi? Or is he teasing him? Our troops at the India-China border are catching a ‘go back’ banner!

The image of Indian soldiers holding the banner that says “You are in Indian territory. Both sides must withdraw as per agreement. Please go back” is an image that has been used by several Pakistani twitter handles in an attempt to defame India.

Several Twitter users condemned the MP for his maligning tweet of the Indian Army.
