TMC general secretary and former MLA Vidiyal Sekar and district president Vijayakumar strongly condemned a DMK leader for speaking against late CM Kamaraj in denigrating manner recently by stating that the DMK rule alone constructed a tomb for him though he opposed DMK. After garlanding Gandhi statue at Erode Corporation on his birth day and Kamaraj statue near Erode GH on his death anniversary on Sunday, they recalled a case pending against him for his insulting speech against SCs.
People were respecting Kamaraj as a great leader of India for his simplicity, selfless service, several years of imprisonment for nation's freedom, clean administration, constructing many dams, industrial estates,thousands of schools with introducing mid-day meal scheme etc. In fact, no other leader can be compared to his stature in TN, they noted. Besides, on different occasions, the DMK leaders insulted narikoravas, women using free travel in government buses, a BDO by mentioning his caste, people by defending steep hike in Omni bus fare, showed extravaganza of his family marriage function, and another leader damaged the reputation of Hindus totally by citing the outdated manusasthra. It showed that they least bothered about people's feelings, self respect, and their sufferings, they rued and appealed to the people to teach a fitting reply to DMK in the LS poll. Party leaders P Arumugam, CS Gowthaman, SD Chandrasekar, Suresh, Rafiq and Kannammal were present.
