DMK's A Raja Tenders Apology For Disparaging Remarks Against CM Palaniswami & His Mother

The DMK leader’s apology came a day after Palaniswami condemned the former’s remarks and said whoever made disparaging remarks against a mother, who is accorded a very high position in the society, would be punished for sure by God.

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader A. Raja, who stirred controversy earlier with his “premature birth” jibe directed at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edapaddi K. Palaniswami, on Monday apologized for his remarks stating “it was taken out of context”.

“In Cuddalore yesterday, I explained that I didn’t speak ill about EPS (K Palaniswami) or his mother. I did so as I’m the eighth child of my mother. After this I came to know through media that the Chief Minister was hurt by my speech, I felt extremely hurt. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for the speech which was taken out of context,” he told the media in Tamil Nadu’s Nilgiris district.

The DMK leader’s apology came a day after Palaniswami condemned the former’s remarks and said whoever made disparaging remarks against a mother would be punished by God.

Urging the voters to give a befitting reply to Raja with their ballot, he said: “If a person who occupied the position of Chief Minister could be targeted in such an objectionable manner, what would be the position of ordinary people?”

“Think what kind of a situation our women and mothers would face if such people capture power?” he asked.

A case has been filed against the DMK leader for his disparaging remarks against the Chief Minister. The AIADMK has asked the Election Commission to ban the DMK leader from campaigning for the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
