Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran on Tuesday demanded police action against a DMK functionary after a video of his went viral on social media in which he allegedly issued a death threat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In the short clip shared by the BJP leader, DMK’s Jeyabalan is purportedly heard issuing a threat against the Prime Minister.
Demanding the arrest of the DMK leader, Nagenthran took to X and wrote, “The DMK functionary who issued death threats to the Prime Minister must be arrested! At an event held on behalf of DMK in Tenkasi, the DMK South District Secretary Jayapalan issuing death threats to the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, is utterly condemnable.”

The controversy comes at a time when the ruling DMK is locked in a political standoff with the Election Commission over the state-wide SIR (Special Intensive Revision) exercise.
What Did The DMK Leader Say?
During a protest in the Tenkasi district against SIR, DMK South District Secretary Jaypalan allegedly made threatening remarks directed towards the Prime Minister.
In his speech, Jaipalan compared PM Modi to “Narakasura”.
“Modi is desperate to snatch your votes, he is another demon… Tamil Nadu can benefit only by eliminating him…We have to fight this battle unitedly and show victory,” he said.
The comment has triggered outrage, with many calling it an open threat to the Prime Minister’s life.
