Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin on Friday (October 31, 2025) condemned certain remarks “inciting enmity between Tamils and the people of Bihar,” reportedly made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an election campaign in Bihar.

Mr. Stalin, in a social media post, shared a video clip in which Mr. Modi was heard alleging that DMK members in Tamil Nadu were harming people from Bihar.

“I am pained as a Tamil, and request Mr. Narendra Modi not to forget that he is the Prime Minister of this country every now and then, and that he should not lose the dignity the post holds through such speeches,“ Mr. Stalin said.

As the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Stalin said he was condemning the BJP for “spewing hatred against Tamils,” whether in Odisha or in Bihar.

Mr. Stalin further said that the Prime Minister and “those from the BJP” must stop engaging in “cheap” political acts that create hatred between Hindus and Muslims and foster enmity between Tamils and the people of Bihar in a diverse country that has always stood united in its diversity.
