Following the arrest of 24-year-old Pradeep, one of the admins of the Voice of Savukku Twitter handle, social media is now flooded with memes and troll videos mocking Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan, and their announcement about “eligible beneficiaries” for a monthly assistance scheme for woman head of the family.
Netizens shared abusive tweets made by DMK comrades derogating women and wondered if the police department would take action against the DMK cadres.
Several opposition leaders including the Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai condemned the arrest of a 24-year-old Pradeep for a video meme criticizing the DMK government and its policies.
In this context, Dr. Krihnasamy of the Puthiya Tamizhagam party condemned Pradeep’s arrest for a video meme. Posting abusive speeches by DMK leaders, including TN CM MK Stalin, Dr. Krishnasamy questioned the DMK government, saying, “If you are going to take action on people who insult women, when are you going to take action on the Dravidian Model Obscene Speakers?”
DMK leader Saidai Sadhik proudly explained in a public meeting, how former CM Karunanidhi verbally abused women congress MLA in the assembly. He said, “A female Congress MLA called Ananthanayaki had questioned in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, as to where the so-called Dravida Nadu (Dravidian country) was, to which Karunanidhi replied saying she should lift her petticoat and check underneath to find it.”
During the 2016 election campaign, MK Stalin made sexual innuendos about then-CM Jayalalithaa and the ADMK candidates, claiming, “Their campaign stages will have multiple levels at different heights. Jayalalitha used to sit on the top level of the stage while the candidates were seated below her on the bottom level…Jayalalitha is on top and the candidates below…(Stalin laughs)..I am just saying… nothing else.”
During the peak of the election campaign in March 2021, DMK Lok Sabha MP and the party’s deputy general secretary A. Raja spoke ill of then CM Palaniswami’s mother when he was canvassing in support of DMK candidate Ezhilan in the Thousand Lights constituency in Chennai. He said, “Our DMK leader Stalin is the leader who was born of pure blood and as a fully grown healthy baby, as well as by legitimate means, whereas Edappadi Palaniswami was born premature, and was born out of an illegitimate relationship.”
PM Narendra Modi was verbally abused by DMK leader Shivaji Krishnamoorthy, who said, “Okkalao**li.. You bloody tea vendor… if Modi, who travels the world on public money, can become Prime Minister of India, why can’t Rahul Gandhi, whose family donated their entire fortune to the country, become Prime Minister? Okkaro**li..”
Udhayanidhi Stalin made disgusting remarks about Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s appointment as Chief Minister saying that he would have ‘gone inside Sasikala’s legs’ to get the post of CM.
A DMK leader abused the ADMK spokesperson on a Youtube channel, saying, “Vindhya (ADMK stage speaker)… She is a Kodambakkam item (Prostitute) from Andhra. She is a number one piece. She worked as a prostitute in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Rajmundri. She visited several lodges in Hosur. Vindhya gave a rape complaint against a businessman in Hosur. But the doctor in Hosur who examined her said, She cannot be raped because she is a platform case (roadside prostitute).”
Another DMK leader made derogatory remarks about Jayalalitha, saying, “Jayalalitha, who has gone (to sleep with) half of Tamil Nadu’s voters, is questioning our leader Karunanidhi. O**ale… You have an excessive sexual desire. You sought that Stalin and Karunanidhi come to you after resigning. Tell us where they should come.”
He also said,” You (Jayalalitha) are always claiming that you don’t have kids to amass wealth Is it our fault? We would have tried if you had asked us at the right time. You are telling us now. Even if you try now, it will not happen (Jayalalitha becoming pregnant).”
DMK Krishnamoorthy made sexual remarks about VK Sasikala in a public meeting. He said, “ADMK leaders were saying that they will make Chinnamma (VK Sasikala) as Amma (Jayalalitha). I wondered how they will make her pregnant as Natarajan (Sasikala’s husband) who tried for 35 years could not make it, how ADMK leaders are going to make it possible?”
DMK leader Saidai Saidik said during a public meeting, “There is a person called SP Velumani, Minister for Municipal Administration. He looks like an item (Prostitute). The only thing that remains is that he did not travel to Bombay to carry out the operation.”
