Double entendre targeting Trisha Krishnan; TVK calls for state-wide protest, police reach Udhayanidhi's residence

CHENNAI: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam filed a complaint with the National Women's Commission against Tamil Nadu opposition leader Udhayanidhi Stalin for allegedly using double entendre targeting actress Trisha. The complaint was filed by the party's national spokesperson Pazha Selvakumar. Meanwhile, it is said that the Thanjavur police have already reached the residence of the LoP to question him regarding the alleged remarks.

The complaint demands that the Commission seek an explanation from Udhayanidhi and send him a public apology. The petition also demands that the police be directed to file a case against Udhayanidhi. A complaint was also filed against Udhayanidhi with the police. TVK women's wing leader Bhairavi filed a complaint with the Thanjavur police. TVK has decided to hold a statewide protest against Udhayanidhi today.

BJP and Congress came out against Udhayanidhi, while former BJP leader Annamalai also came out strongly against the DMK scion. However, Udhayanidhi Stalin denied using such rude remarks at the actress.

Opposition leader Udhayanidhi Stalin made a double-edged remark targeting Trisha while criticising Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph C. Vijay on the Cauvery water dispute issue. Udhayanidhi's remarks were made at a protest event organised in Thanjavur on August 3 on the Cauvery water dispute.

Udhayanidhi alleged that the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was focusing on other matters instead of addressing the basic needs of the people. The government is engaging in political vendettas rather than addressing the people's problems. Udhayanidhi said that the Chief Minister's focus was on filing false cases against DMK workers.

Later, the DMK workers below the stage shouted Trisha's name. Udhayanidhi smirked at this and later used double entendre. Udhayanidhi immediately corrected himself, saying that he meant the Cauvery river and not the actress. However, the damage was done, and a huge uproar spread over the state in no time.
