Will cut off tongue of whoever questions Amma's health :AIADMK MP
The MP, PR Sundaram, made the fuming remarks while referring to Jayalalithaa's arch rival, DMK chief M Karunanidhi, suggesting recently that she should step down as she was unwell.
"Karunanidhi wants Amma to take rest. What's his age? He's 93 and he says he wants to live for 100 years. He doesn't want to hand over power to his son," he has been quoted in media reports as saying.
The AIADMK MP was speaking at a public meeting on Sunday.
"As an MP I have to be restrained. If anyone speaks about revolutionary leader Amma, his tongue will be cut off," he said.
AIADMK Spokesperson CR Saraswathi later said: "Let me check. The MP could have said it jokingly on stage."
Ms Jayalalithaa's 10-day absence from work earlier this month fueled speculations and evoked comments from the opposition parties.
