Old video of DMK MP's remarks on migrants sparks political row

The remarks have sparked a political row, drawing criticism from RJD, JD(U) and BJP leaders in Bihar who condemned the statements.

The video has resurfaced and gone viral now, with BJP leaders accusing the DMK and Congress of having hatred towards Hindi speakers.
