‘Never mentioned Trisha’: DMK after Udhayanidhi detained over allegedly offensive remarks
The DMK trained its guns on the ruling TVK and Tamil Nadu chief minister Vijay and said that Udhayanidhi's detention was based on “false and fabricated” claims.
DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained by police on Tuesday morning following complaints filed by Chief Minister Vijay's ruling party TVK over alleged offensive remarks towards actress Trisha Krishnan during a speech. DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan claimed that Udhayanidhi did not mention Trisha in his speech and only listed out the CM's failures.
DMK MP Kanimozhi alleged that Udhayanidhi's detention was to prevent him from participating in the upcoming Assembly session. DMK MP P Wilson called the arrest an atrocious act, and other party leaders also denied the allegations.
