Claim: Video showing Tamil Nadu's DMK MP T.R. Baalu saying with pride that he has demolished 100-year-old temples.
Fact-check: This video of DMK MP T.R. Baalu's speech on 'demolishing 100- year-old temples' is clipped and is shared out of context - FACTLY
Verdict: on 27 january 2023, t.r. baalu delivered this speech during a conference in madurai, advocating for the implementation of the sethusamudram project. originally, baalu was recounting his tenure as a union minister and describing instances where places of worship, such as temples, mosques and churches, were demolished for various development projects. this viral video has been created by clipping segments of his speech and is being shared out of context. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
