Taking a veiled swipe at the chief minister, Murasoli wrote, &#8220;The scene of the actress sitting in the front row and the two of them saluting each other could not be tolerated by those who voted for him. The person who tries to justify it by making it a matter of honour is the chief minister of Tamil Nadu today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your
