TN BJP asks DMK to clarify stance on Kashmir after party excludes PoK from India map

Tamil Nadu BJP's spokesperson SG Suryah demanded to know if the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) had any 'private deal with Pakistan' after a video released by MK Stalin's party showed a map of India excluding portions of Kashmir that are currently occupied by Pakistan and China. DMK shared a video on Wednesday slamming the AIADMK government for their brazen actions on the Sterlite protestors in Thoothukudi. The video also highlighted that the people of the coastal city suffered due to the errant decision made by ex-CM J Jayalalithaa in 1994.

"If not for Jayalalithaa, there would neither have been an EPS or OPS nor would they have reached where they are today. They have no loyalty or gratefulness towards Jayalalithaa who was the reason behind them reach such a stature. If they don't have loyalty towards the person who was behind their rise to power, their leader, how do you think EPS and OPS will be loyal towards people of Tamil Nadu?," he stated adding that AIADMK had failed the people of Tamil Nadu miserably.
