Are you aware or not?" he asked an official.The MP also urged the authorities present to clean everything presumably the pooja materials that the Hindu priest had brought for the Bhoomi Pooja on Saturday.The official at whom the MP shouted was identified as the Executive Engineer of Public Works Department. The DMK leader also later shared a short video of the episode in his Twitter handle.He was heard saying: "Trying to keep my cool... at times, they make me lose my patience."Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has objected to the MP's behaviour.The party's Tamil Nadu unit vice president Narayanan Thirupathy questioned Senthilkumar whether he would have reacted in the same manner had an Imam been present, and would have conducted rituals according to the Muslim belief.The BJP leader called for the MP to apologise to the public for "disrespecting people's faith".In a tweet, the BJP leader wrote: "I strongly condemn@DrSenthil_MDRD for Hindu beliefs and rituals at a workplace where poojas were about to be performed by the workers to their beliefs. His abuse and behaviour have once confirmed that @arivalayam is an anti-Hindu party."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
