DMK chief MK Stalin condemned the burning of the statue.
“The burning of Anna statue is condemnable. People will punish who are all out to create unrest in Tamil Nadu. Thanthai Periyar, Anna, MGR statues are continuously being vandalised. Submissive stand of the CM is shameful,” read a rough translation of Stalin’s tweet from Tamil.
