Snapshot That the DMK has not chosen to comment or distance itself from this episode only strengthens the suspicion that it perhaps backs such tactics. With Tamil Nadu Assembly elections around the corner, a desperate Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is making all efforts to regain power after 2011. Supporters of the Dravidian ideology have thrown their weight behind the party and are employing some below-the-belt tactics. These tactics have now led to one of Indiaâs promising and leading information technology firm Zoho Corpâs owner Sridhar Vembu being attacked by a Twitter user, who reportedly owes allegiance to the DMK and claims to be an ardent follower of the late M Karunanidhi.
