He said that while explaining about the Jallikattu issue in the House last week, he had referred to the episode where purported pictures of the slain terrorist with accompanying 'Boycott Republic Day' slogans were noticed.
"I did not make any reference to any particular community," he said responding to Manithaneya Jananayaga Katchi (MJK) member Thamimun Ansari who raised some points in this regard.
Last week, while detailing the incidents surrounding the pro-Jallikattu protests and the police removing them on January 23 from Marina Beach, the Chief Minister had said 'anti-national, anti-social and extremist elements" had infiltrated the movement.
He had also mentioned about some pictures of Bin Laden with 'Boycott Republic Day' slogans being noticed during the protests.
