DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has landed in controversy after a video from a Cauvery protest in Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur showed him making a remark involving actor Trisha that critics alleged carried a double meaning. The clip has gone viral on social media, triggering sharp criticism from the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and the BJP, with the former also approaching the National Commission for Women (NCW) seeking action against him.
Amid the backlash, Chennai Police said an FIR has been filed against Stalin junior over his remarks against Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and Trisha. The situation turned tense in the capital on Tuesday morning as TVK workers protested outside Stalin’s residence.
Some of the TVK cadres have also been detained by the police as they tried to breach security barricades outside Stalin’s house.
