Tamil Nadu Minister M R K Panneerselvam's remarks on migrant workers from north has earned the criticism of opposition AIADMK, even as the DMK insisted he did not say anything wrong or derogatory about such persons in the state.
The minister only highlighted their plight on how the BJP ruled states treated
their people, DMK spokesperson T K S Elangovan said on Thursday.
Addressing DMK partymen at an event in Chengalpattu near here recently, Panneerselvam said that north Indian workers come to Tamil Nadu to clean tables, sell pani puri and for construction work because they have studied only Hindi.
