Bigg Boss Fame Muthukumaran Peddles DMK Lies About Delimitation

Bigg Boss Fame Muthukumaran Peddles DMK Lies About Delimitation

A video of Muthukumaran Jegatheesan, a contestant from Bigg Boss Tamil Season 8, hosted by Dravidianist Vijay Sethupathi is being widely shared as a spontaneous citizen’s outburst against the Delimitation Bill. It is no such thing. It is a carefully constructed piece of DMK political messaging, delivered with the emotional fluency of a reality TV performer, and it contains a mix of selective truths, deliberate omissions, and outright fearmongering.

Muthu Kumaran’s Bigg Boss fame gives the video significant reach, precisely why it is dangerous to let the claims within it go unchallenged.

In the video, he peddles the same lies that DMK peddles – South will not be given representation; South pays more taxes than North; North Indians only grew in population and did not have good education while South did otherwise; North Indians come to South to find work, etc.

What Parliament Is Actually Debating

To understand the claims in the video, it is first essential to establish what is actually happening in Parliament. The government has called a crucial three-day special session on April 16, 17, and 18 to take up three constitutional amendment bills simultaneously:

The Constitution Amendment Bill – to implement 33% women’s reservation in elections, ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. Women’s reservation was originally passed in the first session of the new Parliament building in 2023; this session operationalises it.

The Delimitation Bill 2026 – to increase the total number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850, an addition of 307 seats.

The Union Territories Amendment Bill – to reallocate the 35 seats reserved specifically for Union Territories within the new 850-seat structure.

Of the 850 total seats, 815 will be allocated to states and 35 to Union Territories. This draft bill has been formally shared by the government with all its Members of Parliament. The opposition INDIA bloc — including Congress — had repeatedly complained they did not know what form the amendment would take; the government has now placed its cards on the table. The INDIA bloc is expected to meet to decide its strategy, with clarity likely before the bills come to vote.

In the Lok Sabha vote on these bills, 207 MPs voted in favour and 126 opposed – the majority needed for a constitutional amendment being two-thirds of members present and voting.

The Video’s Claims – Examined One by One

Muthu Kumaran states as confirmed fact: Tamil Nadu will go from 39 to 59 MPs, and Uttar Pradesh from 80 to 120 MPs. These are not official figures. The Delimitation Commission has not published any final constituency-wise allocation.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah clarified in parliament as the house discussed the bill that seat increase will be proportionate. As per this, the south is set to gain as below. Representation of the southern states rises from 23.76% (129/543) to 23.90% (195/816). That’s an increase, not a cut.

Some of the other lies Muthukumaran peddles are:

The 1971 Freeze: Selectively Told

Muthukumaran is correct that the seat freeze began in 1971 and Vajpayee extended it in 2001. What he omits: The freeze was always meant to be temporary – the 2001 amendment explicitly extended it until “the first census after 2026.” That deadline has arrived. The revision is constitutionally anticipated, not a BJP ambush.

The GDP and Tax Argument Is Factually Wrong

Muthukumaran claims Tamil Nadu’s tax money will be redirected to northern states once they gain more seats. This is simply false. Lok Sabha seat count does not determine revenue sharing. The Finance Commission allocates central taxes based on a formula involving income distance, area, forest cover, demographic performance, and population – not MP count. More MPs from UP does not mean more tax money to UP. This is a lie with an economic costume.

The “North = Baby Machines” Framing Is Inflammatory

The description of northern Indian women as “baby-producing machines” with no education or infrastructure is dehumanising caricature. Northern India’s demographic challenges are a function of decades of governance failure by successive state governments, not a cultural deficiency of its people. Ironically, this is exactly the kind of othering language the DMK accuses the BJP of deploying against minorities and southern states.

The BJP Seat Arithmetic Is Frozen in 2024

The claim that delimitation drowns southern voices because BJP did not need MPs from the south to win the elections. He points to the 2024 tally – 127/238 in the North, 28/130 in the South – as a permanent baseline. Political arithmetic changes every election cycle. It is intellectually dishonest to use one election’s results to justify a permanent structural alarm. By the same logic, Congress’s dominance in the 1980s would have justified freezing seats forever to protect the South from Congress.

The Real Kerala Story: Population-Based Delimitation In Kerala Increased Seats To Muslim-Dominated Districts And Reduced Representation In Hindu-Majority Areas During Congress-Led UPA Era

By
The Commune
-

India is once again at the centre of a fierce delimitation debate. The proposed constitutional amendment to raise Lok Sabha strength from 543 to 850 seats has triggered unified resistance from southern states. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called the proposed exercise “anti-national,” while opposition parties argue it will destroy federal balance and reward high population growth in the Hindi heartland.

Congress’ Kerala handle mocked union minister Suresh Gopi questioning him, “Dear @TheSureshGopi, Are you going to vote for the bill that Modi has sneaked in to reduce the representation of Kerala and Southern states in the Parliament? Are you with Kerala or not? If you vote for it, then you are the worst betrayer of Kerala and its interest.”

But it seems that Congress has forgotten its own deeds in Kerala.

Let us rewind to 2008 – delimitation in Kerala.

In the year 2008, Kerala underwent delimitation where the constituencies were rearranged – was it justified? Let us take a look.

Kerala’s total number of Assembly seats remained at 140 before and after the 2008 delimitation. The Delimitation Commission Order of 2007 (implemented for 2011 elections) only redrew constituency boundaries based on population changes, without adding any new seats to the legislature.

Seat Distribution Did Change by District

Within the fixed total of 140, the redistribution across districts was significant:

Malappuram gained 4 seats while Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha lost 2 each and Kottayam, Thrissur, and Kollam lost 1 each.

The six Malabar districts collectively gained 7 seats (from 53 to 60), while the five southern Travancore districts lost 6 (from 54 to 48).

The reallocation of assembly seats was carried out on the basis of population growth trends. Districts like Malappuram, which recorded the highest population increase, saw a corresponding rise in representation, while southern districts such as Pathanamthitta, where growth was slower, did not see similar gains—consistent with the standard principles of delimitation.

The 2008 delimitation exercise led to a pronounced shift in seat distribution towards northern Kerala, particularly in districts with sizeable Muslim populations. Malappuram registered the most significant increase, with its assembly seats rising from 12 to 16 -an addition of four seats. The district’s demographic profile includes approximately 70.24% Muslims, 27.60% Hindus, and 1.98% Christians. Kozhikode saw its seat count increase from 12 to 13, gaining one additional seat, with Muslims making up around 39% of its population. Palakkad’s representation also rose from 11 to 12 seats, where Muslims account for roughly 39%. Wayanad’s seats increased from 2 to 3, further strengthening representation in the northern belt. Kannur similarly saw a rise from 10 to 11 seats, with a Muslim population of about 29.43%.

This pattern of redistribution resulted in a concentration of legislative representation in the Malabar region, significantly reshaping the state’s electoral balance. Although Kerala’s overall demographic composition, as per the 2011 Census, stands at approximately 54.73% Hindus, 26.56% Muslims, and 18.38% Christians, the redrawing of constituencies effectively amplified the political weight of certain regions over others.

This exercise was carried out during the UPA1 regime – Congress was in power. And today, the same Congress cries foul.

Radical Leftist Prakash Raj Narrates Twisted Ramayana Where ‘Rama Is North Indian, Ravana South Indian Tribal’; Criminal Complaint Filed

Radical Leftist Prakash Raj Narrates Twisted Ramayana Where 'Rama Is North Indian, Ravana South Indian Tribal'; Criminal Complaint Filed

Radical leftist and actor Prakash Raj has come under criticism after remarks made during his speech at the Kerala Literature Festival in January 2026 resurfaced online, with clips from the talk, published in March on YouTube, now circulating widely on social media.

A criminal case has been filed against him for making the inflammatory remarks.

In the speech, Prakash Raj positioned southern India as more “open” and “inclusive” compared to the north, while also endorsing a reinterpretation of the Ramayana performed by children as part of his theatre-in-education initiative. His remarks, particularly the framing of the Ramayana and accompanying political commentary, have triggered backlash over what critics describe as the promotion of distorted narratives among young students.

Talking about how south is more welcoming and inclusive compared to the north, Prakash Raj said, “We are open because we have always accepted diversity. We have always accepted diversity but don’t come and impose. Don’t come and impose.”

He went on to describe how children in his programme reimagined the Ramayana through a fictional story involving ants consuming a book and transforming into its characters. He said, “I told a story among the childrens here. The children made a play in one of my, I do an incubator where we are working for the last two years – my theater as a tool in education. Those kids today, they rewrote Ramayana in the play. It is the story about an anthill. They say there is some function happening and they are going to have a rain of milk. So, they want to escape, they come out and they realise that human beings have poisoned the earth, they don’t have food. And elder one of those anthills, a white ant says the only thing man has not poisoned is books. So, they go to a library. And the elder white ant warns, whatever you eat, what you digest is yours and if you eat too much, you will become characters. And in the play, children took one Ramayana and ate, all the ants. Then suddenly Rama, Lakshmana, Sita came. So, they are coming down to the south, and Lakshmana says, “Rama, what lucky? There is one forest here.” Rama says, “No, it is somebody’s land. It’s somebody’s farm.” “Oh, there are fruits, can we eat?” “Yeah. But is it stealing?” “No, if we are hungry, we can eat.” As they are eating, Shurpanaka and Ravana come. And Shurpanaka is very angry. It says, “Anna, somebody is eating our fruits.” And Anna Ravana says, “No, they are hungry, let them eat. We can talk to them later.” After they have eaten, they come, and Rama says, “Hey Lucky”, Rama calls Lakshmana ‘Lucky’, “Hey Lucky, some tribals have come.” They say, “No, we are the owners. Please, now since you have eaten the fruit, you have to pay the price.” Then what is the price? Shurpanaka calculates and says, “$2,000 with GST.” And they say, “No, we don’t have money.” Then Ravana says, “Give them some discount.” “Okay, 20% discount.” “No, we don’t have.” “So in spite of giving a discount, if you don’t have the money then you are not tourists here. You have come in search of food. So what you do, since you have eaten the fruits, the seeds are there, no? Plant it, turn it into a tree, and go.” “What is your name?” “I am Rama from the north.” “Yeah, I am Ravana, from the south. Nice meeting you.” This is what the children said, politics.”

He added, “You guys want to come, don’t force your Hindi. Learn Malayalam, no? You have come to work here. Don’t become a manager of a bank and ask us not to eat beef, we will do a beef festival! Come, do something, work something, respect our culture and go. “No, one nation, one religion, one dialogue, get lost. Okay? This is our land. Behave yourselves.”

He concluded by asserting that such messaging formed part of his cultural work with children, adding, “That is the cultural politics I’m doing with my play. Children know the politics. These fellows don’t know what to do.”

Following the sharing of the clip, netizens slammed Prakash Raj for his derogatory comments and twisted Ramayana version. Advocate Amita Sachdeva shared on social media platform X that she had filed a criminal complaint against Prakash Raj for his derogatory comments.

‘His Name is Paldaayil Udhayanidhi’, Jose Charles Martin Attacks DMK Scion Udhayanidhi Stalin

'His Name is Paldaayil Udhayanidhi', Jose Charles Martin Attacks DMK Scion Udhayanidhi Stalin

Campaigning in Trichy for his mother Leema Rose Martin, who is contesting from Lalgudi as an AIADMK candidate, Jose Charles Martin hit out at DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Addressing voters, Martin said, “I have come here for my mother’s sake, to seek your votes. I would have come a couple of days earlier, but you all know Mr. Udhayanidhi spoke a few words. I got delayed a little because I had to give him a fitting reply. That’s all, nothing else.”

He went on to criticise Udhayanidhi’s personality, stating, “He is a spoilt boy, playful boy who doesn’t know much about the outside world. The only people he knows are the four or five people around him. ‘Paldaayil Udhayanidhi’ – that’s his name. ‘Paldaayil Udhayanidhi.'”

Escalating his remarks further, Martin made allegations about Udhayanidhi’s personal life. He said, “In life, what does everyone do? When you are studying, you fall in love before getting married and you get married after that. After marriage, you have children, raise them well, get them settled, get them married, and then enjoy grandchildren – that is our Tamil tradition.”

He then added, “But what is he doing? He is already married. And after getting married, he goes around falling in love with four or five women. Not just that, and mind you, not any ordinary woman, he falls in love only with cinema actresses.”

Continuing his remarks, Martin said, “And after falling in love with those actresses, what happens is suddenly he gets a ‘love failure.’ And when there is a love failure, he suddenly goes and drinks ‘Paldaayil.’ That is his problem.”

MK Stalin Engages & Amplifies Post Of DMK Supporting Dravidianist ‘Dr’ Aravind Raja Who Has Made Casteist Slurs And Hate Speech

By
The Commune
-

Social media platform X has several abusive handles and these are primarily Dravidianists. One of the very well-known abusive handles is a ‘Dr’ Aravind Raja. He has a history of abuse and venom spewing especially against Brahmins.

On 15 April 2026, this Aravind Raja handle shared a video of a wheelchair bound divyang navigating to the metro station with his motorised wheelchair. The video showed that the metro station was disabled-friendly with ramps and elevators available. This is among the many posts DMK supporters are posting on social media to show that Dravidian Model under MK Stalin has done wonders for Tamil Nadu.

He captioned the video, “Dravidian Model government, Long Live you Stalin”.

It is noteworthy that the central government funded the first phase of the Chennai Metro and it is a policy under the Modi government to make all spaces disabled-friendly. Under the Modi government’s ‘Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan’ scheme, all spaces/transport modes are to be made accessible to everyone including wheelchair bound differently-abled persons.

But the Dravidian Model government wants to paste their sticker on this as well.

Moving on, this video post was reshared by MK Stalin captioning it, in a seemingly self-praise post. He wrote, “This is just the beginning. In my 14-point visionary plan titled #StalinStatement. I have announced that by 2030, ‘Complete Streets’ featuring sidewalks and trees will be developed not only across all parts of Chennai but also in every major city throughout Tamil Nadu! #DravidianModel 2.0: Our cities rising to global standards in infrastructure!”

While these developments are necessary and praiseworthy, what is shocking is that the chief minister chose to engage with a rabidly abusive handle – Aravind Raja. Here are some instances of abuse from the past.

In November 2023, he targeted Carnatic singer and performer Sivasri Skandaprasad by making casteist abuse and sharing pictures of her in western clothes.

Aravind Raja who claims to be a CEO and a “brain specialist” said “That Paapaara (casteist slur for Brahmins)… Sorry Sorry.. Bharathiya Traditional Maami (a sexist and derogatory reference to Tamil Brahmin women)“.

Sivasri Skandaprasad is a well established Carnatic singer and performer. She had also sung the Helhe Neenu number for the Kannada version of Ponniyin Selvan – Part 2.

Aravind Raja had targeted Sivasri for her speech in which she emphasized on the importance of wearing Indian clothes over western clothes.

In February 2026, when Congress members and the DMK were having a war of words against each other regarding seat sharing and power sharing, Aravind Raja picked a picture featuring Tagore and a few other Congress leaders and claimed Tagore was being “directed” by Thuglaq editor S Gurumurthy.

In his post, Aravind Raja shared a photograph featuring Tagore alongside other Congress leaders and claimed Gurumurthy was seen “directing” him. He captioned the image, “Script, direction Gurumurthy”

However, it later emerged that the person in the photograph was not Gurumurthy. Despite the misidentification being publicly pointed out, Aravind Raja did not delete the post. He subsequently shared what critics described as an even more derogatory image targeting both Tagore and Gurumurthy.

Aravind Raja later came up with an even more derogatory image of Tagore and Gurumurthy as below:

In 2024, he engaged in an indecent hate campaign on a popular social media platform, targeting Hindu gods and their ideology. He made vile comments against Lord Rama.

The post is translated as below:

Sri Raman: Hey, hey, do you know who I am, do you know what my range is in the North?
Tamil Nadu: Who are you? You are a murderer, right? I just saw your case details… You beheaded Sambhukan, who was
doing penance, giving caste as a reason and committed manslaughter.
To prove her chastity, you threw your own wife Sita into the fire and killed her.
At the behest of some monkeys, you burnt down a beautiful country called Sri Lanka that belonged to the Tamilians. 
You have murder, attempted murder, women harassment, public property damage cases on your head, go sit in the corner.

The above post shows a slanderous image of Lord Ram and reads as follows: “They said that Ramayana is a biography madam. And so I bought and read and in the opening itself this guy’s father Dasarathan has 16,000 wives madam. But this guy’s father and one horse…”, he wrote abusing Lord Ram.

He has also made several disparaging and derogatory comments against former CM Kamarajar and against actress Kasthuri.

It is noteworthy that MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin had posted condolence messages on their X handle when another rabid troll who spewed hate against Brahmins and Hinduism passed away.

In his message, Stalin wrote, “Even though he held no official position in the party, through his black-and-red passion, he was known as one of the faces of the Kazhagam on the internet, and acted as if the Kazhagam itself was his identity—my dear brother @Mark2Kali_. The news of his passing has deeply shocked and pained me. To the family of the vibrant young comrade Mr. Kalimuthu, who we have lost, and to our Kazhagam family, I extend my deepest condolences…”

TCS Nashik Muslim Gang Grooming Case: Human Trafficking Network With Malaysia Link Emerges

Hindu Gods Mocked, Namaz Forced, Beef Force-Fed How A Muslim Grooming Gang At A Famous IT Firm Targeted Hindu Female Colleagues

The investigation into the Nashik grooming and sexual exploitation case has widened, with authorities examining claims of a possible international trafficking and cross-border exploitation network linked to the accused. What initially emerged as allegations of coercion, harassment, and forced religious conversion is now being probed for deeper, more organized criminal dimensions, including the possibility of victims being prepared for movement outside India.

Investigators are reportedly tracking what they describe as a coordinated “Malaysia plot,” involving alleged digital trails, passport procurement processes, and suspected external handlers. Preliminary findings suggest that logistical groundwork for transporting victims out of the country may have already been underway, with digital evidence indicating discussions about relocating victims abroad after sustained exploitation.

As reported by CNN News18, sources indicate that authorities are examining video call records and other digital communications that point to the involvement of individuals outside India. The probe is now focusing on whether the case involves an organized trafficking and human exploitation racket operating under the cover of a corporate ecosystem.

A post shared by News18.com (@cnnnews18)

At the center of the controversy is an HR manager associated with the company under scrutiny, who has been accused of ignoring repeated complaints of harassment and coercion. Allegations suggest that the official may have downplayed or normalized serious grievances raised by victims and failed to escalate complaints, thereby providing institutional cover to the primary accused. The role of internal corporate mechanisms in addressing or allegedly suppressing complaints is now under investigation.

Investigators are also examining whether there is a broader pattern involving highly educated professionals allegedly using corporate access, digital tools, and professional networks to target and manipulate victims. Intelligence inputs are said to be assessing concerns around so-called “white-collar radicalization,” including the potential use of encrypted applications and online platforms to recruit, control, and exploit individuals.

The Malaysia link has drawn additional scrutiny due to its possible connection with known individuals and networks operating outside India. Authorities are probing whether the alleged plan to move victims abroad was part of a larger, coordinated system involving handlers in foreign locations.

Officials are also revisiting past cases and patterns involving recruitment, coercion, and cross-border movement of vulnerable individuals, particularly instances where victims were allegedly groomed, converted, and transported to conflict zones. While no direct links have been officially established, investigators are examining similarities in methods, including grooming, radicalization, and logistical preparation for international movement.

The probe remains ongoing, with multiple agencies assessing digital, financial, and travel-related evidence to determine the scale and structure of the alleged network. Authorities have not yet confirmed the full extent of the operation or the number of individuals involved, but the case is now being treated as potentially far more complex than initially reported.

Leftist Rag The Wire Journo Arfa Khanum Sherwani Platforms Pakistani Journalists To Deny Pahalgam Attack And Spin Collapsed Talks As Pakistan’s Win

By
The Commune
-

In two separate videos uploaded on her YouTube channel on 12 April 2026 and 13 April 2026, journalist of leftist rag The Wire Arfa Khanum Sherwani hosted Pakistani journalist Beena Sarwar and Geo News anchor Hamid Mir on her YouTube channel and the conversations that followed seemed to legitimise Pakistani state narratives on the Pahalgam terror attack and the collapsed Islamabad ceasefire talks.

Beena Sarwar: “No Evidence Against Pakistan” – Arfa Agrees

In the first video (12 April 2026), Arfa hosted Beena Sarwar, a Karachi-based Pakistani journalist and peace activist. When the Pahalgam terror attack came up, in which 26 civilians were killed, Sarwar made an unequivocal defence of Pakistan, she said, “Regarding Pahalgam, look, we in Pakistan, our friends, we are the first to criticise our own country and our own army, unlike Indians who do not criticise their own country and their own state, especially in front of other people. We openly criticise ourselves, we are even called traitors here in Pakistan for doing so. But regarding Pahalgam, no evidence was presented. The moment it happened; blame was immediately put on Pakistan. And as a person who believes in fairness, I think that was unfair. No matter how much we ourselves speak against Pakistan’s army, we are called traitors here in Pakistan for it, but in this case, I am sorry to say, it was totally jumping the gun. And because of that conflict that happened last May, if you look at who benefited from it, on your side, your Modi government became stronger. On our side, our army became stronger. What did the common people get from it?”

Far from pushing back or questioning this framing, Arfa endorsed it saying, “Yes, Beena, I want to move forward from Pahalgam, because I also don’t have evidence. The evidence has to be shown by the Indian government.”

Hamid Mir: Lebanon Broke the Deal – An “Insider Story” Arfa Was Thrilled to Platform

In the second video (13 April 2026), Arfa invited Hamid Mir, the veteran Geo News anchor, for what she billed as an exclusive on the collapsed Islamabad ceasefire talks between the US and Iran. Mir proceeded to give Pakistan near-total credit for brokering the talks – talks that had, by that point, already broken down and offered what he framed as insider intelligence on why they failed. He said, “I am telling you with full confidence, the two or three issues that Donald Trump mentioned in his threats, one is the enrichment of uranium and the other is the Strait of Hormuz, the impression he is giving is that there is a big dispute over these. Yes, the Iranians are not ready to stop uranium enrichment. But he is pressurising them on it, and Trump also says, ‘I hope they will return to the negotiating table.’ Now, here is the key point during the 21 hours of talks, there was actually NO problem on these issues at all. They had come very close to agreement on these points. The issue that Donald Trump is avoiding – the one he is NOT mentioning, the one that caused the Iranians to walk out when they were just inches away from a breakthrough was the Lebanon ceasefire. Because look, when Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif made that ceasefire announcement and shared this big news with the world on day one, if you go back and read it carefully, it was explicitly mentioned that the ceasefire would apply to Lebanon as well. But then, when JD Vance was leaving America heading towards Pakistan, he gave a statement: ‘No, Lebanon was NOT part of our deal.’ So they were backing out of it. Why were they backing out? Because they had already anticipated in advance that when the Iranian side sat across from them, Iran would not compromise on the Lebanon issue. So they denied it as a pressure tactic. And exactly that happened. When they sat down – there were 15 points from America and 10 points from Iran. All the issues were being discussed well. But when it came to the Lebanon issue, the Iranians said: ‘On this, we will not compromise with you. Because Netanyahu has started a genocide in Lebanon. And if we now make an agreement with you, the message that goes to the world will be that we abandoned Hezbollah, we gave up Hamas, we did their deal, we sold their sacrifices. We cannot do this. Don’t expect this from us. You will have to do a ceasefire on this.'”

Rather than interrogating Mir’s claims or noting that the talks had collapsed precisely during Pakistan’s much-hyped diplomatic moment, Arfa responded with admiration. She said, “This is a very significant point, Sir. There has not been much reporting on what you are saying. This is quite a big revelation — an insider story, inside information that you are sharing. Because on the surface, it is said that the uranium enrichment and Hormuz issue is what stalled things. But the Lebanon…”

While sharing the above video on her X handle, she wrote, “Hamid Mir categorically said: ‘Not Hormuz. Not nukes. Lebanon broke the deal.’ An insight no one else in mainstream media is reporting.” essentially amplifying a Pakistani journalist’s unverified version of events as an exclusive scoop.

One pattern is common – within the span of 48 hours, Arfa used her channel to enable denying of Pakistani culpability in a terror attack on Indian soil, and then to allow a Pakistani television anchor to reframe a diplomatic failure as a Pakistani strategic victory. The Islamabad talks which Pakistan had projected as a massive win for its regional relevance, collapsed after 21 hours of negotiations, with Iran walking out and the ceasefire unravelling soon after. Neither guest was meaningfully challenged on any of their claims.

“Sexual Violence, Drug Culture Everywhere, Only One Charge Against Stalin Govt, Nothing Else”, DMK-Ally DMDK Head Premalatha Scores Self-Goal

Sexual Violence, Drug Culture Everywhere, Only One Charge Against Stalin Govt, Nothing Else”, Says DMDK Gen Sec Premalatha Vijayakanth

A statement by DMDK General Secretary Premalath at a DMK campaign meeting in Salem has triggered surprise and discomfort among DMK cadres after she openly referred to allegations of sexual violence and drug culture across Tamil Nadu while sharing the stage with alliance leaders, as reported in Dinamalar.

Addressing a public gathering, Premalatha said that across Tamil Nadu there was only one major allegation being raised against “Anna,” referring to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. She made the remarks in a women-centric meeting, stating that incidents of sexual violence and the prevalence of drug culture were being reported widely across the state.

She said, “Our father Mahatma Gandhi said that true independence is the day when a woman can walk alone even at midnight without fear. Today, similarly across Tamil Nadu, there is only one single allegation against Anna (Stalin). And I am saying this right here at this women’s gathering, wherever you look, there is sexual violence and drug culture. Other than this, what else can be said against this government? Nothing else can be said against this government.”

Despite the remarks, Premalatha reiterated her support for the alliance, stating that she was standing as a sister alongside “Anna” and functioning as his right hand. She said that, like Rani of Jhansi, she would firmly raise issues concerning women whenever required.

She expressed confidence that measures such as CCTV surveillance and policies ensuring women’s safety and rights would be implemented, and said there should be no doubt about the leadership’s commitment. She added that women are embodiments of Shakti and that their collective strength was unmatched.

Premalatha further stated that all forces had united and that it was a crucial moment to collectively protect Tamil Nadu and its Dravidian legacy. She said that in times of crisis, women across the state would rise like the Rani of Jhansi.

She added that women would take forms like Durga and Velu Nachiyar when needed, and that if Tamil Nadu faced any threat, they would unite in support of “Anna” and the government. She asserted that no force could oppose a united women’s front.

She also said that “Anni Durga” was present at home to protect him, and that across Tamil Nadu, women stood as Durga, Amman, and Shakti. She expressed confidence that nothing would happen to the leader or his government and that the ruling dispensation would return to power with a significant victory.

Premalatha’s remarks, delivered at a joint campaign event attended by Chief Minister Stalin and other alliance leaders, drew attention within political circles, with reactions ranging from surprise to criticism over the phrasing and timing of her comments.

In a major development in the widening Nashik TCS case involving allegations of sexual exploitation, forced religious conversion, and workplace abuse, probe teams have indicated that absconding accused Nida Khan is suspected to have links with Red Fort bomb blast accused Dr. Shaheen Shahid, who is said to have been tasked with setting up the women’s wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed in India.

Investigators have said that both women are believed to have met in Delhi recently, and the possibility of connections to external agencies is now under active verification, as reported by Republic.

According to police sources, Nida Khan has been absconding since the beginning of the investigation and remains untraceable. She is believed to be hiding in Bhiwandi, Mumbai. Officials have stated that tracing her has become difficult due to the area’s dense population as well as her use of a burqa, which complicates identification. Authorities have also noted that Khan has deleted her entire digital footprint, further hampering efforts by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has been deployed to track her down.

Sources have indicated that Nida Khan and Dr. Shaheen may be linked through an organisation they were associated with, though this angle is still being investigated. The probe in the TCS-linked case has intensified, with CCTV footage and bank accounts of all accused currently under detailed scrutiny. Investigators have said there is a strong possibility of links to external organisations, and this is being examined as a critical line of inquiry.

In a significant escalation, national agencies including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are also said to be looking into the matter and are expected to assist the Nashik Police SIT in expanding the probe. Officials have stated that it remains to be established how and under what circumstances Nida Khan and Dr. Shaheen met, and what the nature of their association is.

Police sources have reiterated that Khan is believed to be hiding in Bhiwandi and remains untraceable. The challenge of identifying her has been compounded by the demographic and clothing patterns in the area, where many women wear burqas, making visual identification difficult.

Meanwhile, all accused in the case, including operations manager Ashwini Chenani, are expected to be produced before a Nashik court. Investigators are focusing on Chenani’s role in the alleged activities, which is expected to be a key aspect of the proceedings.

The emerging links between Nida Khan and Dr. Shaheen have raised concerns about the possible existence of wider organised networks. Observers have indicated that this could point to the presence of similar operations in other major sectors, suggesting that the current case may represent only a fraction of a larger pattern.

In parallel, industry-level responses have begun to emerge. Representatives from IT forums have stated that companies across the sector are being alerted to such incidents and urged to take immediate cognisance if employees report similar experiences. There are also concerns within the industry about reputational damage and the possibility of companies reconsidering their presence in Nashik.

Tata Consultancy Services issued a statement reiterating its zero-tolerance policy towards workplace harassment involving women. The company has also reportedly circulated internal communication addressing the issue.
