Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tamil Nadu president Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday got into a heated argument with a co-passenger, who raised anti-BJP slogans at Tuticorin airport.
The lady co-passenger allegedly raised 'Fascist BJP Government down down' slogan. Enraged by the same, Soundararajan got into a verbal spat with the co-passenger and later allegedly with the police, who were stationed at the airport.
Soundararajan also lodged a complaint and the lady was later detained for interrogation.
Talking to media on the issue, Soundararajan said that the detained passenger could belong to some organisation.
"A middle-aged lady on seeing me started raising anti-BJP slogans and even followed up to the arrival gate. Her appearance looked threatening; I feel some organisation is behind her," Soundararajan said.
