We have seen in previous article how BJP’s hypocrisy exposed after release of Kaala movie. (https://www.telugu360.com/kaala-hypocrisy-of-tamil-nadu-bjp-leaders-exposed/). One more incident happened in Tamilnadu, in which BJP leaders attacked Tamil director Ameer because of his comments on BJP and Rajnikant .
Tamil television news channel Puthiya Thalaimurai had organised a debate at a private college premises in Coimbatore. In this TV debate, BJP State secretary Tamilisai Soundararajan was also one of the participants. The show’s director Ameer, during the debate referred to the communal riots happened in Coimbatore in 2016 after the murder of Hindu leader C Sasikumar. He asked a question – “why police did not open fire during those riots — and why the police opened fire at the anti-Sterlite protesters in Thoothukudi.” Supporters of the BJP objected to this and disrupted the debate and attempted to attack the show director Ameer. Angered BJP supporters created uproar resulting in altercation and the show had to be stopped. In the same show, Ameer also commented on BJP colluding with Rajnikant which also didn’t go well with BJP supporters.
The Police registered case against Tamil TV channel Puthiya Thalaimurai, one of its journalists and director Ameer on the grounds of attempting to promote enmity on religious grounds.
Later, when Ameer and others were returning, BJP cadre attacked the car. Eight persons blocked their cars and threw stones at them but they later found Ameer was not there in that car and left the place. Police registered a case against the eight persons under various IPC sections for blocking and attacking the car.
All other political parties condemned the cases on Ameer and media.
