The DMK MP responded to a reporter’s inquiry about previous tapes of him making comments about top DMK leaders and north Indians getting viral on social media by saying, “There’s a saying – jobless barbers catch hold of cats to shave its fur.” These guys, who are involved in this, especially the IT section of the BJP, want to stir up some sort of commotion. They are making it popular nationwide in an attempt to get political traction, which will never happen.In response to Maran’s comments on “jobless barbers,” BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claimed that the DMK’s casteist and elitist views were reflected in these comments.

Rather than offering an apology, Thiru Dayanidhi Maran refers to those who disseminate and respond to his diatribes against our North Indian brethren as the product of a “unemployed barber.” With this ongoing degradation, it is clear that the leaders of the I.N.D.I.

Lekhi stated, “It is up to the people to choose between those who propagate pollution and those who want to clean it.
