In a tweet, he termed it as hate politics. It was an act which insulted political leaders, he said and asked what benefit people would get by doing this.
“Ideology must be faced and opposed by ideology. By tying a flag to Anna, his ideology cannot be changed. Those involved in this act and those who motivated them should be arrested under Goondas Act,” Dr. Ramadoss added.
The general secretary of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, T.T.V. Dhinakaran, found fault with the State government for not having taken appropriate steps to nab those responsible for the previous incidents concerning the statues of E. V. Ramasamy and M.G. Ramachandran. “Otherwise, how would mischievous elements have dared to insult leaders of yesteryear?” he asked, calling upon the government to take stern action against those who were out to disturb public order and tranquillity.
