PMK chief is butcher of dalits: Swamy

Chennai: A day after MDMK quit National Democratic Alliance, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday stirred up a new controversy by calling PMK founder Dr S. Ramadoss “a LTTE orphan and butcher of Dalits” and asked PMK to leave the alliance.In a tweet, Mr Swamy said, “PMK (founder Dr S) Ramadoss should also depart from NDA. He is a LTTE orphan and butcher of Dalits.”

PMK was part of NDA’s 7-party alliance that contested in the recent 2014 Lok Sabha polls in the state.Like Vaiko, Dr Ramadoss is also very critical of NDA on its Sri Lankan Tamil issue policy and its moves to promote Sanskrit and Hindi. However, Dr Ramadoss dismissed Swamy’s remark.
