A saffron cloth was found tied in the railing surrounding the statue of Dravidian stalwart, the late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C N Annadurai in this district on Thursday, prompting angry responses from political parties including the ruling AIADMK and DMK. Some litter was also reportedly found there. Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam slammed the "insult" and warned the government will take strict action against those desecrating statues of leaders.

"I strongly condemn the insult to the statue of Anna by miscreants who had also tied a saffron cloth. The Amma government will take stringent action against those insulting leaders and affecting law and order and disrupting social harmony," Panneerselvam, also AIADMK Coordinator, said in a tweet.
