Udhayanidhi Stalin detained from Chennai home over 'vulgar' remarks case
Udhayanidhi Stalin faced detention after a case was registered against him. He had allegedly made objectionable remarks during a rally on the Cauvery dispute. The controversy erupted after a DMK rally in Thanjavur on Monday. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam filed a complaint and approached the National Commission for Women. This dispute has shifted political focus away from the Cauvery issue.
DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained from his Chennai residence on Tuesday following a complaint lodged against him for allegedly making vulgar remarks during a Cauvery water dispute rally in Thanjavur. The DMK leader's remarks, which targeted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, sparked controversy and led to the filing of an FIR by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam under multiple charges, including promoting enmity between groups and inciting harassment of women.
The National Commission for Women has also been approached, with the opposition party seeking legal action, an apology, and intervention by the commission.
