'Blatant Cowardice': DMK Slams Vijay Govt over Arrest of Udhayanidhi Stalin
The youth wing said the arrest was politically motivated and meant to divert attention from the state government’s response to the Cauvery dispute.
- On Tuesday, the Chennai Police arrested Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin at his Neelankarai residence following multiple FIRs alleging he made derogatory remarks about Chief Minister Vijay and actor Trisha Krishnan during a Monday protest rally.
- Authorities filed cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, while the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam submitted a representation to the National Commission for Women seeking action against the opposition leader.
- DMK leaders argued the arrest was a politically motivated 'diversion tactic' to avoid questions regarding the government's handling of the Cauvery water dispute. Udhayanidhi alleged the government manipulated his speech, stating, "I spoke for over 20 minutes on farmers."
- While the Madras High Court agreed on Tuesday to hear Udhayanidhi's urgent anticipatory bail petition, the DMK youth wing condemned the detention as reflecting government "helplessness." DMK officials maintain the leader made no reference to any specific individual.
- Tensions escalated as the DMK accused the TVK of hypocrisy, alleging the government ignored similar derogatory language used by Chief Minister Vijay in his films. This political rivalry intensifies as both sides prepare for further legal proceedings.
