A day after Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party chief K Annamalai held the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam responsible for the ongoing stir over alleged attacks on migrant labourers in the state, the police booked him on charges of inciting violence and promoting enmity between groups.
The cyber crime division booked the BJP state unit chief under sections of inciting violence and promoting enmity between groups among others.
As per officials, a case is also registered against the BJP Bihar Twitter account holder over the incident.
Annamalai on Saturday released a statement on the migrant labourers' issue saying they are safe in Tamil Nadu but the Chief Minister Stalin led-Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and its alliance party leaders are the reason for the hate against them.
He also opposed the spread of false news on the attack on the people from Bihar in the state, saying that Tamils don't support "separatism" and "vile hatred" against north Indians.
"It is disheartening to see fake news spread in social media about attacks on Migrant workers in Tamil Nadu. We, the Tamil people, believe in the concept of "The World is One" and do not endorse the separatism and vile hatred against our North Indian friends," Annamalai said in a series of tweets.
Hitting out at the state government, he said, "DMK's MPs' vile comments on North Indians, DMK minister calling them Panipuri Wala, and their alliance partners demanding their exodus has triggered what we see today." -- ANI
