During an address, DMK's Shivaji Krishnamoorthy said, “If he (TN Gov RN Ravi) refuses to utter the name of Ambedkar in his Assembly speech, don't I have the right to assault him? If you (Gov) don't read out the speech given by Govt, go to Kashmir and we'll send terrorists so that they'll gun you down.”

The statement of the DMK member sparked controversy and TN BJP soon came in support of the Governor. TN BJP said that they wonder if DMK has any links with terrorists since Shivajii Krishnamoorthy and RS Bharathi had abused Governor RN Ravi.

After the comment, Narayanan Thirupathy, TN BJP VP said, “It's DMK's culture. For the last 60 yrs, they've been using foul and filthy language and are known for it. It's in DMK's DNA.”

“Shivajii Krishnamoorthy and RS Bharathi had abused Gov RN Ravi & said they'll kill him. We wonder if DMK has any links with terrorists,” he said.

Earlier, DMK organising Secretary RS Bharathi also made a controversial comment against the Governor. He said that they (DMK) have people like Sekar Babu (HR&CE Minister) and asked that if the CM had gestured his eyes would the Governor have gone home. RS Bharathi also said that if Jayalalithaa was alive the governor would have been beaten up. 

He also alleged that the Governor ran away from Assembly and his act had just proved that Stalin has the quality to lead the nation and send the PM home.
