Using the proverb ‘Jobless barbers catch hold of cats to shave its fur’ against the BJP, DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran has said that those involved in spreading his old videos, especially the BJP, want to gain ‘political mileage’ by creating ruckus in the society. Responding to the question of a reporter that old videos of his comment related to North Indians and other senior DMK leaders are going viral on social media, DMK MP Maran said, "There is a saying, ‘Jobless barbers catch hold of cats to shave its fur’. These people want to create some kind of ruckus, particularly the IT wing of the BJP, which is involved in this. They are trending it at the national level for their political mileage, which will not materialise."
