BJP Demands Arrest Of DMK MP A Raja, Here's Why

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, political tension is increasing in Tamil Nadu day by day. On Tuesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came out all guns blazing at Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader A Raja. According to the reports, the saffron wing has demanded arrest of DMK MP accusing that he derided Lord Ram and questioned the idea of India in a recent "hate speech".

Sharing a video on micro-blogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya alleged that A Raja called for the "Balkanisation of India".

"Hate speeches from DMK's stable continue unabated. After Udhayanidhi Stalin's call to annihilate Sanatan Dharma, it is now A Raja who calls for the balkanisation of India, derides Bhagwan Ram, makes disparaging comments on Manipuris and questions the idea of India, as a nation," Amit Malviya said.

Amit Malviya also shared an English translation of the original Tamil video of DMK leader AK Raja: "India is not a nation. Understand this well. India is never a nation. One nation means one language, one tradition and one culture. Then only it is one nation. India is not a nation but a subcontinent. What's the reason? Here, Tamil is one nation and one country. Malayalam is one language, one nation and one country. Oriya is a nation, a language and a country. All these nations make up India. So, India is not a country, it is a subcontinent. There are so many traditions and cultures. If you come to Tamil Nadu, there's a culture. In Kerala, there's another culture. In Delhi, there's another culture. In Oriya, there's another culture. Why in Manipur, as RS Bharathi said, they eat dog meat. Yes, it is true, they eat. That's a culture. There's nothing wrong. It's all in our mind."

A day ago, the Supreme Court made critical remarks against DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, for over remarks on 'Sanatan Dharma'.
