CM Stalin calls BJP a "social virus" that has unleashed repression & intimidation. He says DMK is bravely facing this virus & fighting it & AIADMK, two enemies of people. He says BJP is spreading canards & using "Whatsapp University" to their benefit. DMK is against Aryan domination, not spirituality. People of TN are rationalists who can draw line between spiritualism & politics.
Describing the BJP as a “social virus”, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalain on Saturday, said the party had indulged in a misuse of power, and unleashed repression and intimidation not just against its political rivals, but also against journalists, humanists and progressive thinkers.
“We are bravely facing this social virus,” the CM said, while interacting with Wing2Point, a social media volunteer group.
Mr. Stalin said the DMK had endured the emergency, the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act or TADA, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002 or POTA and all sorts of other intimidatory tactics that the BJP wielded, as well as the bundle of lies it spread. “[Adolf] Hitler has just one [Joseph] Goebbels. But the BJP is functioning like a political party that is run by a gang of just Goebbels. They will disparage anyone. They lie, and they do not have any guilt about telling lies. They use the ‘Whatsapp University’ [to their benefit],” he said.
The Chief Minister said the DMK was fighting, “The BJP and the AIADMK, two enemies of the people.”
“On the one hand we are directly fighting fascism and on the other, we have launched an attack on forces that seek to divide people on the lines of caste. The BJP’s fascist ideas are not only against our movement and ideology, but against humanity as a whole,” he said
The Chief Minister said the BJP was, “spreading canards since there is a herd that is ready to believe them.”
“But they (the BJP) are irritated since we have pricked their balloons. We do not want false honours. We need honour for true work. Our news should be based on facts and should not follow the model of the BJP,” he said.
