Aiyar's jibe instantly drew flak from various quarters including Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
Around 50 BJP workers staged a ‘tea-selling' demonstration outside TNCC headquarters Sathyamurthy Bhavan here, protesting against Aiyar's remarks. They were later detained by police.
At Kumbakonam, BJP members held a demonstration near Head Post Office and condemned the remarks made by the Rajya Sabha MP.
