DMK – RN Ravi at loggerheads

The DMK that has its government in Tamil Nadu, has been at loggerheads with the governor over his recent statement that the state should be called ‘Tamizhagam,’ and not ‘Tamil Nadu.’

Krishnamoorthy was addressing a public gathering when he made the remark against the governor Ravi. “If you (Ravi) do not read out the speech given by the Tamil Nadu government, then go to Kashmir, and we will send terrorists so that they’ll gun you down,” he remarked.

The statement has got Krishnamoorthy in trouble as Prasanna Ramasamy, Deputy Secretary to the Governor, filed a complaint against him with Chennai City Police Commissioner. Chennai police said they would be registering an FIR against the DMK leader under IPC sections 499 (Defamation) and 500 (Punishment for defamation).

Krishnamoorthy suspended

Meanwhile, DMK temporarily suspended Krishnamoorthy for violating party activities. He has been removed from all responsibilities with immediate effect after his comments against the Governor.

Krishnamoorthy made the statement following a massive showdown in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The DMK government accused the Governor for skipping parts of chief minister Stalin’s speech.
