Ramadoss Condemns Archuna’s Remarks Against Seeman
PMK founder Ramadoss has strongly condemned Sri Lankan Member of Parliament Ramanathan Archuna for allegedly issuing a public death threat against Naam Tamilar Katchi leader Seeman, insisting that Archuna should publicly apologize to both Seeman and the people of Tamil Nadu.
Archuna had sharply criticized Seeman during a speech in Parliament. Responding to those remarks, Ramadoss stated in an official release that Eelam Tamils had carried out a long struggle for political and human rights for more than 75 years, enduring immense sacrifices and losses.
He further noted that history has shown that internal conflicts and lack of unity among Tamils were major reasons for setbacks faced during the struggle.
In this context, Ramadoss said that Archuna’s statement targeting Seeman — reportedly saying, “If I had a weapon, I would have shot him” — was completely against democratic values and political civility.
He also alleged that such divisive politics aimed at weakening Tamil unity and opposing the growth of Tamil nationalist politics in Tamil Nadu would never be accepted by the Tamil people.
Ramadoss further criticized the concerned governments for remaining silent while a parliamentarian from a neighboring country made such remarks publicly.
Therefore, he urged Ramanathan Archuna to immediately withdraw his anti-democratic statement and issue a public apology to Seeman as well as to the people of Tamil Nadu.
