3 DMK leaders booked over remarks against Tamil Nadu CM Vijay, cabinet colleague
The FIRs followed a September 12 DMK protest, with party spokesperson TKS Elangovan accusing the TVK government of targeting opposition leaders.
Tamil Nadu police have registered cases against Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leaders, including party deputy general secretary and former Union minister A Raja and former state minister PK Sekar Babu, over alleged derogatory remarks made by them against Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay and his cabinet colleague CTR Nirmal Kumar, officials familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
A similar case against DMK MLA Vasantham Karthikeyan over his comments against the chief minister was also filed by the Kallakurichi police.
The DMK had organised a state-wide protest on September 12 during which A Raja, P K Sekar Babu and Vasantham Karthikeyan in Kallakurichi allegedly made ‘derogatory’ remarks against Vijay and Kumar.
