Vijayakanth
Chennai: DMDK chief Vijayakanth on Sunday allegedly behaved in an “uncivilised” manner by spitting at a group of scribes when he was asked if the ruling AIADMK would capture power in the 2016 state assembly elections.
When asked if the ruling AIADMK would win the next Assembly elections, the actor-turned politician initially replied, “AIADMK will not capture power at all.” And even as he said that he flew into a rage and asked, “Can you pose this question to Jayalalithaa? You will not ask. You will be afraid! Are you journalists,” he said and spat at them.
A scribe, however, calmly replied that reporters would ask questions if a press meet was convened by her. He was interacting with reporters after participating in a blood donation camp organised by his party on Sunday.
The Chennai Press Club condemned Vijayakanth for his alleged misbehaviour with journalists and has asked him to openly apologise for “continuously” behaving in an “uncivilised” manner with them. Press Club joint secretary Bharathi Tamizhan, in a statement said, it (club) wants Vijayakanth to reform himself by realising his “mistake”.
