Title: Governor Condemns RS Bharathi’s Controversial Remarks about ‘Naga’ People
Date: November 5, 2023
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi has strongly condemned the controversial remarks made by DMK Organization Secretary RS Bharathi about the ‘Naga’ people. The Governor expressed his disapproval, stating that it is unacceptable to speak derogatorily about the dignified Naga community.
In addition to Governor RN Ravi, BJP state vice-president Narayanan Tirupathi has also demanded an apology from RS Bharathi for insulting the people of Nagaland.
RS Bharathi, the organizational secretary of the DMK, made the remarks during the party’s centenary function held in Chennai on November 4. In his speech, Bharathi referred to an incident where he claimed that the Naga people had chased away the then Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, who allegedly ate dog curry. The video of this speech quickly went viral on social media, prompting criticism from various parties.
Reacting to the controversy, Governor RN Ravi took to his official social media page on November 5 to condemn the speech publicly. He emphasized that the Naga people are brave, honest, and dignified, thus labeling them as “dog curry eaters” is despicable and completely unacceptable. The Governor urged RS Bharathi not to hurt the sentiments of the proud community of India.
Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President Narayanan Tirupathi also expressed his displeasure on social media, demanding an apology from RS Bharathi for insulting the people of Nagaland. He further criticized Bharathi for making personal remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In response to the criticism, RS Bharathi defended himself by stating that Governor RN Ravi’s claim that he had dragged the people of Nagaland was misleading. Bharathi referred to a Guwahati High Court ruling which apparently confirmed that dog meat consumption was part of Nagaland’s cultural heritage.
The controversy surrounding RS Bharathi’s remarks has sparked widespread condemnation and discussions on social media platforms. It remains to be seen if Bharathi will issue an apology or further clarify his stance on the matter.
