On Sunday morning, finance minister Palanivel Thiagarajan came up with a tweet reacting to the shameful incident that took place on Saturday noon. Posting the picture of the sandal that was thrown at his car, the minister said that if the “Cinderella” who allowed tens of her party members to do the disgusting act wants her sandal back, his staff had saved it for her. Earlier, while meeting press reporters, the FM said that he doesn’t like to do politics over a dead body like BJP party and said that he will talk about it later.

On Saturday, a slipper was hurled at the car of Tamil nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan. It has been reported that the miscreants were identified as the functionaries of the Bharathiya Janatha Party. The incident happened at Madurai where the minister went to the wreath-laying ceremony of Army Jawan, Lakshmanan who was killed in a terror attack on an Army camp in Jammu’s Rajouri district on Thursday.

Along with the finance minister, Madurai collector Anish Shekar, Mayor Indhrani Ponvasanth, Airport Director Baburaj and Madurai Police commissioner Senthil Kumar paid tributes to the deceased.

தேசியக்கொடி மீது செருப்பு வீசிய சங்கி கரப்பான்களில் 5 சிக்கியிருகின்றன. பூச்சிக்கொல்லி அடிக்கபட்டுவருகிறது என்று தகவல்கள் வருகின்றன. மீதம் உள்ளவைகளும் விரைவில் சட்டப்படி ஜெயில் கம்பிகளுக்கிடையில் நசுக்கப்படும் என்று நம்புவோம் 🙏🏾#BJPInsultsNationalFlag pic.twitter.com/fBD6lco4xm

Reports suggested that the functionaries of BJP party also wanted to be a part of the wreath-laying ceremony but were stopped by officials as the event was conducted by government and only office holders are allowed.

Outraged by the prevention, cadres of party BJP shouted slogans and hurled a slipper on the car of finance minister PTR while he was returning form the airport. A video that is doing rounds shows the BJP members surrounding the white car in which PTR was travelling and raising slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” while banging the bonnet of the car.

Now, reacting to the incident for the first time, the DMK minister came up with a tweet in his twitter handle writing “I’ll have more to say about yesterday’s events later, but for now…. If the missing “Cinderella of the Old Airport Terminal”, who was “allowed” hundreds of meters into the “secured” area along with tens of her party members🤔, wants her sandal back…my staff saved it for you”
