They had put my Home Minister in Jail when I was Chief Minister. The country should understand that political leaders are involved in only 3 per cent of the ED cases and 97 per cent of cases are registered against the ones who do not belong to the politics.

Congress should be asked what is its compulsion to sit with people who are spewing such venom against Sanatana? Will it leave its politics incomplete? What is this perversion in the Congress mindset – it is a matter of concern within Congress itself. DMK was perhaps born in this hatred…but the question is not about them. It is about a party like Congress. Has it lost its basic character?… It is a matter of concern for the country that it is a compulsion for Congress.”
