Seeman blames minorities for supporting ‘corrupt’ DMK and Congress

Naam Tamilar Katchi co-ordinator Seeman has triggered a controversy attacking Muslims and Christians for extending support to what he called the “corrupt” DMK and Congress in Tamil Nadu.

In a short video clip of a speech at a meeting on Sunday to protest against the violence in Manipur, Mr. Seeman is heard claiming that Christians and Muslims had turned into ‘Children of Satan’ for many years  “while it is only us who think those who have embraced Christianity and Islam are Children of God.”

“They go to churches and sing ‘Devaney Vareer’ (Come to Us, God) but they have given the country (Tamil Nadu) to questionable people. The Christians and Muslims (in Tamil Nadu) should take responsibility for the injustices and iniquities happening here,” he said.
