Days after ruckus erupted in Tamil Nadu assembly over Governor RN Ravi's customary speech, DMK leader Shivaji Krishnamoorthy has sparked a controversy with his remark against the state's governor.

Addressing an event on Thursday, Krishnamoorthy said, "If the governor refuses to
utter the name of Ambedkar in his Assembly speech, don't I have the right to assault
him?"

"If you (governor) don't read out the speech given by the Tamil Nadu government, then
go to Kashmir, and we'll send terrorists so that they'll gun you down," Krishnamoorthy
said.

State Bharatiya Janata Party leaders condemned Krishnamoorthy's remark against Governor RN Ravi and demanded his immediate arrest.

Meanwhile, Governor's Deputy Secretary lodged a complaint with Chennai Police seeking action against ruling DMK's public meeting speaker.
