இலவச பேருந்து பயணம்.. தங்கம் கொடுப்பதும் லஞ்சம்தான்! சிவகங்கையில் சீமான் ஆவேசம்

Seeman has stated that free bus travel, the provision of gold for *thali* (mangalsutra), and the tradition of a maternal uncle gifting a gold ring—all amount to bribery. He argued that these cannot be termed as ‘gifts,’ because the government is merely taking money from the people and giving it back to them. Seeman described this as a form of “verbal bribery.”
