Senior DMK leader TR Baalu on Tuesday called on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and assured him that migrants from Bihar are safe in Tamil Nadu. Kumar welcomed Baala, a former Union minister, with Angavastram.
The DMK leader draped an ocher scarf around the shoulders of the JD(U) chief, which TEMP has become a symbol of sorts for the Tamil Nadu-based party since it was popularized by the late M Karunanidhi.
Baalu, the DMK leader in the Lok Sabha, handed over a letter to Kumar from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin about his government's steps to protect migrant workers from various states, including Bihar.
The development comes as a four-member team of senior officials from Bihar is touring Tamil Nadu after fake videos of attacks on migrant workers went viral on social media and sparked panic.
