Udhayanidhi Stalin detained after TVK's complaint over his alleged remarks against Trisha Krishnan

On August 4, 2026, the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) submitted a formal complaint to the National Commission for Women, accusing DMK youth wing secretary and Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin of making offensive remarks during a demonstration in Thanjavur. The complaint was filed by Pazha Selvakumar, the party’s national spokesperson, who called for the Commission to intervene and seek an explanation from Udhayanidhi, as well as an unconditional public apology for the alleged remarks.

These remarks reportedly stemmed from audience chants and have been condemned by several ministers in the TVK-led government. The party has announced protests against Udhayanidhi on the same day as the complaint was lodged.
