Slamming the saffron party’s ‘Vetri Vel Yatra’ which ‘aimed to disrupt the peace and the harmony in the state’, the AIADMK’s mouthpiece ‘Namadhu Amma’ had published a strongly-worded article.
This has worsened the friction between the ruling AIADMK party and its ally BJP.
In a column titled ‘Be it Karuppar Kootam or those who hold the saffron flag,’ the article read,
“The peaceful state of Tamil Nadu will not allow processions that aim at dividing people on the basis of caste and religion. All those concerned must understand this. The people of Tamil Nadu have repeatedly proven to the entire country that the Dravidian cradle of Tamil Nadu is the place where religion is considered as a guiding lamp for human beings and not to propagate hatred.”Namadhu Amma
