The claim

Finally, the film-obsessed Hindus of Tamil Nadu are waking up after the “Sanatan eradication” pledge made in the state assembly. Now they are tearing down the posters and flags of the very party they voted for just a few days ago. They are realizing that they were misled by their addiction to films and film heroes. Madurai, where Hindus constitute 90% of the population, voted for Mohammed Mustafa, who vowed to eradicate “Sanatan.” Hindus did not expect this. Good to see that Hindus are waking up and realizing the difference between filmy dialogues and real life.
