  • The DMK has assured BJP victory in 2024

    The DMK has assured BJP victory in 2024

    I had earlier thought that the BJP will have to somehow whip up communal hatred and instigate communal riots to win the 2024 lok sabha elections.

    But now I think that it is unnecessary. The DMK, a coalition partner of the INDIA opposition alliance, has ensured victory for the BJP, without the latter doing anything.

    Udayanidhi Stalin, Minister in the ruling DMK state govt in Tamilnadu, and son of the Chief Minister MK Stalin, called Sanatan Dharma ( which most Hindus regard synonymous with Hinduism ) as a disease like dengue, malaria or covid, which must be eradicated, and far from expressing any regret he has repeatedly said that he stands by his statement.

    Udayanidhi’s father, Chief Minister MK Stalin, has supported his son

    Now, another DMK leader A. Raja, who is a former Union Minister, has gone further, and called Sanatan Dharma a disease like HIV or leprosy.

    None of the opposition leaders have condemned this statement, though some have said that they don’t subscribe to it. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has not even commented on it

    80% of India’s population is Hindu, and, as already mentioned before, most Hindus equate Sanatan Dharma with Hinduism, and they have been deeply hurt by Udayanidhi’s statement 

     262 eminent people have written a letter to CJI Chandrachud asking for suo motu action against Udayanidhi 

    Since the DMK is part of the opposition alliance INDIA, and since the latter have not condemned Udayanidhi’s remark, all hopes of the opposition defeating the BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, which were already doubtful, have now been dashed and are now buried.

    When the opposition has a friend like the DMK, the BJP needs no enemy. Udayanidhi Stalin’s and Raja’s speeches have put a nail in INDIA’s coffin, and sunk the INDIA alliance, like the iceberg which sank the Titanic.

    The BJP need to do nothing now to win the coming Lok Sabha elections. The opposition has ensured it.

    DMK won’t take legal action against Annamalai in audio leak case

    Chennai: DMK leader T.K.S. Elangovan said on Monday that the party will not file a case against BJP leader K. Annamalai in the audio tape leak case linked to state Finance Minister P.T.R. Thiagarajan.

    He said the audio clip was fake and it’s up to Thiagarajan to file a case against the BJP leader as it is a personal allegation against him.

    Elangovan said that since it is a personal matter, it is Thiagarajan who should file a case against the BJP leader, adding that the DMK will not file a case.

    He also accused Annamalai of levelling fake allegations against DMK leaders.

    It may be noted that several opposition leaders, including AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, have called upon Union Home Minister Amit Shah to probe into the leaked audio clips that were attributed to Thiagarajan.

    Thiagarajan had earlier said in a press statement that the audio tapes attributed to him were fake and that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology was used. He said that this was the job of a blackmail group.

    Thiagarajan also said that this group is trying to create a rift between him and his party leader, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.

    Erode: The DMK is not scared of Income Tax raids, as the party has even faced the stringent MISA (Maintenance of Internal Security Act) during the emergency period, said Tamil Nadu Sports Development Minister Udayanidhi Stalin.

    His statement comes days after the IT department carried out raids at several locations linked to G Square real estate firm and a DMK MLA’s house in the state in connection with alleged tax evasion.

    The firm reportedly has ties to the DMK’s ‘first family.’

    Army Jawan beaten to death in TN, 6 including DMK functionary held

    [ad_1]

    Krishnagiri: An Indian Army soldier, who was severely thrashed by a DMK functionary and his accomplices, succumbed and six people have been arrested in connection with the crime, said police on Wednesday.

    The 29-year-old Lance Naik M Prabhu was ambushed by Chinnaswamy and others and was brutally beaten up, they said.

    He was admitted to hospital with grievous injuries and succumbed today.

    On February 8, an altercation ensued between Prabhakaran and his brother Prabhu with the DMK functionary Chinnaswamy at Velampatti in Pochampally over washing clothes near the town panchayat’s water tank.

    Later, in the evening, Prabhakaran and his brother were attacked allegedly by Chinnaswamy and his men. Prabhu was admitted to a private hospital in Hosur.

    The Nagarasampatty police altered the case from IPC section 307 – attempt to murder to section 302 – murder.

    “Chinnaswamy, a DMK councillor in Pochampally area, beat up an army soldier Prabhu to death @CMOTamilnadu must initiate appropriate action. As Akhil Bharatiya Poorva Sainik Seva Parishad senior vice president, I strongly condemn this act,” Lt Col N Thiagarajan tweeted.

    BJP State chief K Annamalai expressed shock and anger over the incident and said in a tweet “soldiers are not safe in their hometown due to DMK anarchy. The DMK and its allied parties have turned to the extent of threatening their families, attacking and even killing soldiers who are protecting the country at the border, risking their lives.”

    “Tamil Nadu’s chief minister is keeping the police in hands… I request on behalf of the BJP Tamil Nadu that strict action be taken against the killers immediately and that such anti-social acts should be prevented from happening,” he further said in a tweet.

  • DMK slams TN BJP chief Annamalai on edited video of T.R. Baalu

    DMK slams TN BJP chief Annamalai on edited video of T.R. Baalu

    [ad_1]

    Chennai: Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK on Monday came out strongly against the BJP state President, K. Annamalai for sharing an “edited video” of party leader and former Union Minister T.R. Baalu’s speech.

    DMK IT Wing Secretary and Baalu’s son, T.R.B. Raaja slammed Annamalai for the video.

    Annamalai, sharing the video clip on Twitter, said: “DMK men take pride in demolishing 100-year-old Hindu temples. The very reason we want the HR&CE dissolved and want temples freed from the clutches of the government.”

    As per the subtitles in the video shared by Annamalai, Baalu has allegedly said: “100 years old temple, I am the person who demolished it. In my home town, in my constituency Saraswathi temple and Lakshmi temple and whats the other god? Parvathy temple. These three temples are located in my constituency are located at the GST road. These three temples were demolished by me. I know that I wouldn’t get votes for it. But I also know how to get votes from the people.”

    Raaja said that the BJP state chief was “resorting to cheap division-mongering in the name of religion and it was the only agenda of that party”.

    “While cheap division-mongering in the name of religion is the only agenda of silly wannabe mushrooms. While we strive to engage in civil dialogue for the overall well-being of the state, it is sad to see the party which rules a nation give space to immature half baked attention seekers to use a chair occupied by some respectable individuals who fought the political fight based on ideology and programme implementation rather than wanting to feed of the impact of cheap# Fakenews& edited videos.”

    Baalu had allegedly made the remarks while criticizing the BJP government for halting the Sethusamudram Ship Canal project.

    The project, which proposes to connect the Gulf of Mannar with the Palk Straits, is considered a key to bringing economic prosperity to the state and the country.

    The Sethusamudram Ship Canal project which commenced in 2005 was halted after the Sangh Parivar organisations had protested claiming that this would harm the ‘Ram Setu’ bridge, believed to have been built by Lord Rama to reach Sri Lanka.

    Annamalai had posted a series of tweets voicing opposition to the Sethusamudram project.

    He had said, “We at the BJP will not let this project proceed under alignment 4a (Destruction of Ram Setu will not be allowed for execution for this project)

    “@CMOTamilNadu also ignored the advice of Tsunami expert Prof Tad S Murthy, who said the destruction of Ram Setu could cause a Tsunami in this region.”
