TVK Lodges Complaint Against Udhayanidhi with NCW
- On Tuesday, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam lodged a complaint with the National Commission for Women against Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin over allegedly offensive remarks about actor Trisha made during a DMK rally.
- The controversy stems from a Monday protest meeting in Thanjavur over the Cauvery water dispute, where Udhayanidhi criticized Chief Minister Joseph Vijay before responding to crowd chants of "Trisha, Trisha" with a remark critics labeled a "vulgar double entendre."
- Describing the comments as "offensive" and "deeply disturbing," the TVK and State BJP demanded an unconditional public apology, arguing the remarks normalize the objectification of women in public life.
- Amid rising tensions, Chennai Police filed an FIR against Stalin, while TVK workers protested outside his residence on Tuesday, resulting in several cadres being detained for breaching security barricades.
- The petition seeks legal proceedings under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as the party argued the incident undermines the standards expected from public representatives and sets a troubling precedent for political discourse.
