DMK MP from Dharmapuri Constituency, Senthilkumar, sparked controversy with his remarks during a debate in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The MP made disparaging comments about Hindi-speaking states, which he referred to as “Ko Muthra states” (cow urine states). This is not the first time Senthilkumar has mentioned this, as he previously made similar remarks during a debate in 2022.
Senthilkumar’s comments have stirred up debate and controversy, with a video of his speech going viral on social media. Many people have shared the video on their social media pages.
In response to the controversy, Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President Narayanan Tirupathi expressed his opposition to Senthilkumar’s speech. He criticized the DMK for making fun of Hindi-speaking states and accused the party of trying to ensure that the BJP does not win in those states.
Following the backlash, Senthilkumar issued an apology on social media. He explained that his comments were meant to convey a different meaning and that he did not intend to use the term in a derogatory manner. He sincerely apologized for any offense caused by his remarks.
The controversy surrounding Senthilkumar’s speech highlights the ongoing tensions between political parties and the divisive nature of political rhetoric in India.
