Udhayanidhi Stalin, a DMK leader and the opposition chief, sought anticipatory bail from the Madras high court on Tuesday, following a complaint lodged by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) over vulgar remarks he allegedly made during a rally. The incident occurred in Thanjavur on Monday, during a Cauvery water-sharing protest. TVK alleged that Udhayanidhi made objectifying and sexually suggestive comments towards women, which they claim undermined women's dignity in public life and lowered the political discourse standards.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also been approached by TVK, urging them to investigate the speech and recommend legal action for public obscenity and outraging modesty.
