On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating political row in Tamil Nadu following controversial remarks by DMK Minister MRK Panneerselvam. The Minister claimed that ‘North Indians sell panipuri in Tamil Nadu’ and are primarily engaged in ‘meagre jobs’ like wiping tables, while locals are better educated. These comments, shared via a video snippet by BJP leader Nainar Nagendran, have triggered sharp criticism from the opposition, which accuses the ruling DMK of fueling a North-South divide ahead of the upcoming elections. The programme examines the history of such demeaning remarks by DMK leaders, including past statements by Dayanidhi Maran and Durai Murugan. While the DMK justifies the comments as an explanation of developmental differences, the BJP labels them as ‘abusive’ and ‘hate-mongering.’ The report explores how these recurring flashpoints over language and regional identity continue to shape the political discourse in the state.
