Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi filed a criminal defamation complaint against DMK’s suspended leader Shivaji Krishnamurthy for his hate speech against the Governor. The complaint has been filed in the PSJ court by the City Public Prosecutor after the state government sanctioned it.
On 14th January, the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu suspended Krishnamurthy from all his posts, and the primary party membership for using ‘abusive and derogatory’ language against Governor R.N. Ravi. Addressing an event last week, Krishnamurthy said, “If the Governor refuses to utter the name of Ambedkar in his Assembly speech, do I not have the right to assault him?” Krishnamurthy said.
