“Anyone who does not say, 'I am Indian first and then a Tamilian,' is anti-nation…” — Subramanian Swamy

There is no concept of a Tamil nation. India is one nation, and Tamil Nadu is a part of that.

I never take up a case until I am convinced that the person is guilty.

If something happens to me, the people of Tamil Nadu should rise in my defence.

See, Indira Gandhi was wrong in declaring the Emergency. She tried to put me in jail, but she could not. People voted her back, and I worked with her after that. Even though I was not a member of the Congress, she sought my help on China. You can't have personal vendetta, you see.
