Chennai: An FIR has been registered against DMK minister Anitha Radhakrishnan for using expletives against PM Modi. The Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP has shared a video clip of X on Sunday, accusing DMK leader and Minister of Animal Husbandry Anitha Radhakrishnan of hurling abuse at the Indian Prime Minister during a public address. 

The BJP said that they will approach the state Police and the Election Commission of India to take necessary action against the DMK leaders. 

The Bharatiya Janata Party had also slammed the MK Stalin led- DMK for maintaining silence on the derogatory remarks of Anitha Radhakrishnan for Prime Minister Narendra Modi

BJP to take up matter with Election Commission 

K Annamalai, the BJP's state unit president posted on X that DMK leaders have reached a new low in their "uncouth behaviour" by passing "vile comments and an unpardonable public discourse" against PM Modi. The BJP leader said his party would take up this matter with the Election Commission and the Director General of Police (DGP) on March 24 seeking the "strictest and immediate action" against Anita Radhakrishnan. 

BJP vice president Narayanan Tirupathi said Anitha Radhakrishnan spoke against PM Modi in a "highly contemptuous manner" and that the Minister should be immediately dismissed from his post. Tirupathi also demanded that Anitha Radhakrishnan must be arrested and lodged in jail. He added that Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi was present when Radhakrishnan made that outrageous comment and hence, the EC must take strict action against her too.

 

DMK Minister Stokes Row 

“Strong Condemnation! DMK Minister Thiru Anitha Radhakrishnan has spoken disgustingly about our beloved Prime Minister Thiru Narendra Modi who hails from a humble background and has dedicated his entire life for the people of India,” said the BJP in a post on X. 

The BJP has also questioned DMK MP Kanimozhi for being a witness to the entire incident. Kanimozhi was present at the stage and was enjoying the speech of Anitha Radhakrishnan, alleged the BJP. 

“Kanimozhi has stood witness to this nauseating act! Without condemning this obscene talk, Kanimozhi enjoys the speech on stage, exposing her pseudo-feminism!” said the Tamil Nadu BJP. 

 

BJP said that, “People will teach the DMK and I.N.D.I. Alliance a fitting lesson! The law will also do its duty! This time the “Rising Sun” will go down the horizon!” referring to the upcoming elections.
