“Ten People Using Your Name Are Controlling Us, Why Come Asking for Votes?”, Angry Villagers Corner DMK Minister Periyakaruppan

DMK minister and candidate KR Periyakaruppan faced a tense road blockade protest in K. Puduppatti village of S. Pudur union after villagers surrounded and detained his vehicle, demanding restoration of their right to conduct the traditional manjuvirattu event, as reported in Polimer News.

Periyakaruppan, who is contesting from the Tiruppattur Assembly constituency and seeking a fifth term after serving multiple tenures as MLA and minister, had entered the village to canvass for votes when more than a hundred residents blocked his car and prevented it from proceeding.

The protest stems from a dispute between two local groups, following which the Malayalam Sattaiya temple manjuvirattu festival was halted after the issue reached court. Villagers alleged that individuals acting in the minister’s name had escalated the conflict, leading to the suspension of the event.

Confronting the minister, one resident said, “Using your name, around ten people are dominating things here. Then why are you coming to this village asking for votes, if this is how your rule is? If you want justice, you should go and stand in court. You won’t get even one vote here, understand.”

As the situation intensified, villagers continued to question him over the issue, insisting that he intervene. However, Periyakaruppan remained inside his vehicle and did not step out to address the gathering.

Responding from inside the car, he said, “If you want justice, you should go and stand in court. Brother, they are asking that you should listen and speak for them. I myself tried speaking so much. I told them to go to court.”

He further added, “What can I do about what the court has said? You have to ask in court. Otherwise, what can Selvaraj do? If it is the court, who can interfere in court?”

Eyewitness accounts stated that while villagers protested under the scorching heat, the minister remained seated inside his vehicle, drinking water and reiterating that the matter lay within the court’s jurisdiction.

Tensions escalated further when some of the minister’s supporters reportedly attempted to prevent youths from recording the incident. This led to a backlash from villagers, who questioned them, asking, “Have you come into our village to threaten us?” before chasing them away.

Following the road blockade, police intervened and held discussions with the villagers. The situation was eventually brought under control, and Minister Periyakaruppan was escorted out of the area.

“You Gave No Water For 5 Years”: Villagers Corner DMK Minister Raja Kannappan

DMK candidate from the Mudukulathur Assembly constituency and Tamil Nadu minister Raja Kannappan faced a tense confrontation from villagers during a campaign visit to Ilangaakur, as residents questioned his record on basic amenities ahead of the Assembly elections.

According to visuals and local accounts, villagers particularly women surrounded the minister and raised a series of complaints, accusing him of failing to deliver essential services during his five-year tenure.

“Last time we made you win. What have you done for our village in these five years? There is no bus, no drinking water, no roads, no streetlights, no school,” residents said, leading to a heated exchange at the campaign site.

As the questioning intensified, Raja Kannappan attempted to respond, saying, “Right. It has been 75 years since Independence. You are somehow fetching water from somewhere and drinking it. Water will come in another 10 days. Right. Cast one vote.”

The remark drew further pushback from villagers, who questioned how basic amenities that were not provided over five years could be delivered within days. Observers noted that the minister appeared unable to adequately respond to the follow-up questions and moved away from the gathering.

At another point, he said, “For five years we would have done things one by one. I have done a lot for your village. Most importantly, water still has to be provided. Right. Cast one vote.”

Women in the crowd continued pressing him, asking, “What happened to road facilities for our village? What happened to bus facilities? What happened to drinking water facilities?” As questions mounted, the minister was seen attempting to disengage from the situation.

In some instances, when Raja Kannappan reportedly tried to shift the discussion to developments in other states, villagers countered with pointed questions about local issues. “Where is the water for our village?” they asked.

He responded, “We will come back to power in another ten days; I will do it then. You have waited 75 years since Independence; can’t you wait another 10 days?” before leaving the spot.

Party workers accompanying the minister attempted to pacify the crowd, urging residents to support the DMK candidate and assuring that pending issues would be addressed. “Alright, alright, make him win this time, we will provide all the facilities,” they said.

However, villagers remained unconvinced. “They say everything has been done, but nothing has been done. Not even a bus service. It has been five years, there is still no proper bus,” one resident said.

Others highlighted the lack of infrastructure affecting daily life, including access to education. “From the forest areas, children have to go far for school – how can small children travel like this? There is no proper school here,” villagers added.

As the confrontation escalated, Raja Kannappan was seen climbing onto his campaign vehicle and leaving the area, while some of those accompanying him were heard remarking that he had managed to avoid a difficult situation.

“Send Him To Parliament”, Says DMK MP A Raja During While Campaigning For Party’s MLA Candidate, Sparks Confusion

By
The Commune

dmk mp a raja

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP A Raja has come under criticism following a campaign speech in the Poonamallee Assembly constituency, where he appeared to conflate the ongoing Tamil Nadu Assembly elections with a Lok Sabha contest.

A video clip from the campaign, circulated widely on social media shows Raja urging voters to support the DMK candidate on the Rising Sun symbol and send the candidate to the Lok Sabha, despite the state being in the midst of Assembly polls. The speech, delivered at a public meeting for the DMK candidate in Poonamallee, was flagged by several Tamil media-linked social media accounts as a confusing moment during the campaign.

Observers noted that since Poonamallee is part of the Assembly election, Raja’s reference to the Lok Sabha has been interpreted either as a slip of the tongue or a lapse during a public address.

He said, “Now calculate this. Is there a Chief Minister in Bihar today? What is his name? Nitish Kumar is there, right? Just as Anna fought for Tamil Nadu and for Tamil Nadu’s rights, in the same way Nitish Kumar fought for the rights of his state, is missing. There is no Marathi leader today. They captured Maharashtra, they captured Uttar Pradesh, they captured Madhya Pradesh. One by one, they are coming down from Delhi, shouting Hindutva, Jai Shri Ram, Bharat Mata ki Jai. The problem is, wherever they cannot enter directly, they climb onto someone else’s shoulders. They could not enter Andhra, so they climbed onto Chandrababu Naidu’s shoulders and came up to Tiruttani. Then when they tried to enter here, an ellaichaami (border guardian deity) is standing there and not allowing them inside – Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin. When they wondered how they could not enter, they looked closely, they realized he was not alone; behind him stood the great ideology of Periyar, Anna and Kalaignar. So, they could not enter directly. Then they looked for a Tamil Nadu man – a gullible fool from the same race, group as Stalin – whose shoulders they could ride on, and that man was Edappadi Palaniswami. They could not enter inside so they climbed on to Edappadi Palaniswami’s shoulders and try to enter saying we are also like you. This election is not just for this constituency alone; it is an election for Tamil Nadu itself. the day Stalin released the manifesto, we could have declared him as CM. But only if we cross 200 seats, Modi and Amit Shah will get scared and decide not to amend the Constitution and realise that until the time there is a leader like Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin, they must realise the feeling that they cannot do anything. If Stalin must return as Chief Minister with 200 seats, and if India, the Constitution and the nation are to be protected, then our Krishnasamy must be voted for on the Rising Sun symbol and sent to Parliament.”

Jana Nayagan Disaster: Film Gets Leaked Online, Flop-Worthy Cringe Visuals Trigger Meme Fest

By
The Commune
-

The alleged leak of a high-definition print of Jana Nayagan, the much-hyped final film of Vijay, has triggered widespread alarm across the Tamil film industry and fan circles, even as the film remains stuck in certification limbo following a prolonged legal standoff.

According to multiple reports, portions of the film including title credits, the introduction sequence, and even the climax, first surfaced on social media platforms before the situation escalated into a full-fledged piracy breach, with the entire HD version reportedly appearing on illegal torrent sites.

Cringe Visuals

The opening sequence is very similar to the original – Bhagwanth Kesari, where Vijay is in prison and is bashing up goons. However, the scenes have been tailored to suit his political entry.

What is cringe is that it is shown as if people in the prison are reading Tamil copies of the Constitution! And he is seen catching hold of it as the goons create a ruckus – as if to indicate he is the one saving the democracy by saving the Constitution – oh well!

 

Then his arm appears – and as expected, it has the tattoo of TVK. It might mean something else in the film but the tattoo has the letters of his political party with the elephant logo.

 

Subsequently, he is shown handing over the book on the constitution to a fellow inmate – Has any of our readers read the constitution or recommended it to anyone?

 

And finally his face emerges as he beats up the bad guys who enter prison to cause chaos.

 

As the fight gets over, his full face is revealed and it is shown with MGR in the surrounding. Once again, Vijay is seen projecting himself as the next MGR – he has done this time and again in his political life.

 

This is from the first clipping; a second clipping of the climax that was circulating has him in his political attire and is also seen showing his inked finger – indicating that he is the change and the film is entirely a launchpad for the 2026 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.

 

The first part of the sequence has senior actors like Nizhalgal Ravi and even director Gautam Menon in policemen roles but the dialogues end up being damp squibs as they are time and again praising the hero. The scene puts police in bad light showing them dependent on an inmate to fight off goons inside a prison.

The climax shows directors Atlee, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Nelson in the garb of journalists asking him about the election results. It can’t get more cringe than this.

 

Meme Fest

Vijay’s fans reacted with shock and anger, flooding social media with demands for immediate legal action. Many tagged the production house, KVN Productions, urging it to identify those responsible for the leak and to clamp down on further circulation. The production team initially responded by issuing takedown notices and removing clips from platforms such as X, but these efforts proved insufficient as the pirated version spread rapidly across multiple channels.

Those who found the scenes cringe started a memefest on social media. Here are a few such posts:

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the leaked footage may have originated from the editing stage. Observers pointed to a moment in the circulating clip where an individual is seen pausing the video, fuelling speculation of an internal security lapse rather than an external hack.

“He Doesn’t Have Maturity”: DK Shivakumar Attacks Vijay, Rejects TVK-Congress Claim

“Immature Politician”: DK Shivakumar Slams Vijay, Rejects TVK-Congress Claim

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar on Thursday, 9 April 2026, released the election manifesto of the Secular Progressive Alliance and launched a sharp attack on Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay, calling him an “immature politician,” while expressing confidence that the alliance would secure a two-thirds majority in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

Addressing reporters, Shivakumar said, “Mr. Vijay is an immature politician. He doesn’t know maturity. I think he might have that TMC with him, that’s all. Indian National Congress is not with him. He might have TMC with him. The Indian National Congress is with DMK.”

His remarks came in response to Vijay’s statement a day earlier suggesting that the DMK may have “bought” the Congress, while claiming that the “real Congress” was backing TVK.

Clarifying his position, Shivakumar reiterated, “I think he might have meant TMC (Tamil Maanila Congress) is with him, that’s all. The Indian National Congress is not with him. The Indian National Congress is with DMK.”

He further underlined that the Indian National Congress remains aligned with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in Tamil Nadu.

Projecting Karnataka as a model of governance under the Congress, Shivakumar stated that the party had fulfilled all its electoral promises within months of assuming office, despite what he described as obstacles from the Union government.

“In the next five years, we are going to serve people across the country,” he said, appealing to voters in Tamil Nadu to give the alliance another opportunity, as reported in The New Indian Express.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram outlined a key welfare proposal in the manifesto, stating, “We have proposed Rs 2,000 for all households as a universal basic income, which will boost the local economy and is widely acknowledged worldwide. Once the new government is formed, this scheme will be implemented.”

IFF – The Organisation Behind The Unblocking Of Pro-Congress X Handle ‘Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0’ & ‘Nehr_Who’

By
The Commune
-

On 18 March 2026, the Union Government issued a directive to X under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, ordering the silent blocking of thirteen accounts – among them @DrNimoYadav and @Nehr_who for peddling hate against India and spreading fake news for years. What happened next was not accidental. It was a system working exactly as designed.

Sequence of Events

Prateek Sharma moved the Delhi High Court after receiving a notification from X that his account had been withheld and claimed in court that his ‘livelihood was affected’.

Within days, both operators were pointed toward a Delhi-based organisation that has quietly positioned itself as the go-to legal machinery for digital rights cases in India – the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF).

No coordinated effort is complete without a favourable media narrative. The Wire and Alt News took responsibility for building that narrative in support of the two handles framing the blocking as an attack on free speech and satire, ensuring maximum public sympathy for the petitioners.

The Legal Machine

IFF assembled a ten-member legal team to represent the two petitioners: Vrinda Grover, Nakul Gandhi, Apar Gupta, Siddhi Sahoo, Gurdeep Singh, Soutik Banerjee, Devika Tulsiani, Indumugi C., Naman Kumar, and Avanti Deshpande. Senior advocate Vrinda Grover argued before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav of the Delhi High Court that the March 18 blocking order was “totally illegal and arbitrary” and fell entirely outside the scope of Section 69A. Even X Corp sided with the petitioners – writing to MeitY on March 19 itself that the blocking order was “disproportionate” and did not comply with Section 69A requirements.

On 6 April 2026, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav of the Delhi High Court ordered immediate restoration of both accounts, while keeping the specific objectionable tweets under temporary block. The operators were also directed to appear before a MEITY review committee to determine the final status of the blocked posts.

What Is IFF?

Founded in the aftermath of the SaveTheInternet.in net neutrality campaign, IFF has spent nearly a decade building deep institutional experience in fighting Section 69A blocking orders, precisely the kind of cases that land on its desk most frequently.

At the centre of IFF stands Apar Gupta – a practicing advocate registered with the Bar Council of Delhi, a graduate of Columbia University School of Law, and a recipient of the Ashoka Fellowship in 2019, awarded for “creating a model for digital rights advocacy in the country that is driven by the public, for the public.” He served as IFF’s founding Executive Director from 2018 to November 2023, stepped away briefly, and returned as Founder Director in November 2024.

Who Funds IFF?

IFF’s documented organisational donors include:

  • Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiative
  • FOSS United Foundation
  • Wingify Foundation
  • UNESCO
  • Boston Consulting Group
Image Source: StarBoy X handle

Azim Premji and the Wipro group remain the biggest financial backbone of the left ecosystem in India. They are also behind the Indian Philanthropy and Social Markets Foundation (IPSMF), which funds The Wire, Alt News, and nearly every major left-leaning digital media outlet in the country. The money flows in a circle and the circle is tight.

The Question That Needs to Be Asked

IFF describes itself as a digital rights advocacy organisation. Yet the pattern of who it helps and who it does not, is impossible to ignore.

IFF has never represented right-wing accounts such as String Reveals or other X handles when their accounts were suspended or blocked. No writ petition was filed on their behalf. No team of senior advocates assembled. No favourable coverage in The Wire or Alt News.

The digital rights of those who challenge the left ecosystem, it appears, are not rights worth defending.

As part of this campaign, DMK candidates met Paul Francis Ravichandran, Bishop of the Church of South India (CSI), at the Madras Diocese office located on Cathedral Road in Chennai.

In a separate interaction held at the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine Church in Tambaram, DMK alliance candidates met A. Neethinathan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kanchipuram and Chengalpattu, and sought his blessings. Participants in this meeting included Alandur candidate and Minister T.M.O. Anbarasan, Tambaram candidate R.S. Krithikadevi, Pallavaram candidate Anagai T. Murugesan of the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK), Sriperumbudur (SC) candidate Selvaperunthagai of the Indian National Congress, Thiruporur candidate Panneerdas of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), and Chengalpattu candidate M.K.T. Karthik Dhandapani.

Continuing the outreach, DMK candidates also met Paul Dhinakaran, founder of the Christian organisation Jesus Calls, at Raja Annamalaipuram in Chennai to seek his support. Those present at this meeting included Minister P.K. Sekarbabu (Harbour), T. Velu (Mylapore), Tamizhan Prasanna (Egmore – SC), Karthik Mohan (Villivakkam), A.B. Poornima (Ambattur), and K.S. Ravichandran (Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar – SC). Member of Parliament Wilson was also in attendance.

During these interactions, the bishops and Paul Dhinakaran conveyed their full support to the DMK alliance, as candidates continued coordinated efforts to consolidate backing from influential Christian religious institutions ahead of the elections.

Anti-Hindu Journo Mehdi Hasan Shares AI-Generated Fake Video, Blames “Indian News Clip” In ‘Apology’

By
The Commune
-

Anti-India and anti-Hindu ‘journalist’ and commentator Mehdi Hasan came under fire after resharing a very visibly AI-generated fake video that showed a Hindi-speaking news anchor making claims about the United States, Iran, and Pakistan. The clip itself appears fabricated, with obvious signs of artificial generation in both visuals and audio, and the setting suggests a false narrative that Pakistan mediated a ceasefire between Iran and the US.

This was the said video.

After backlash, Hasan posted an apology on 8 April 2026, saying he had reshared an “edited/inaccurate clip” from Indian cable news and blaming his “early-morning itchy Twitter trigger finger” for the mistake. He also said the platform is full of “misinformation & disinformation and AI” and urged people to be more careful before sharing.

But the apology itself quickly became controversial because it seemed to shift the blame onto India rather than acknowledge that the video may not even have originated in India at all. Hasan seemed to have used his own error to frame India negatively, despite the fact that the clip was clearly AI-generated and could just as easily have come from Pakistan or another source. But still, he shared it and in his alleged apology ensured that India was the perpetrator and he was the victim.

It is a well-known fact that Mehdi Hasan is vocally anti-India.

Liberal woke Islamist journalist Mehdi Hasan who is a closet terror sympathizer thinks that as a Muslim he has the divine right to have the moral high ground no matter what. In fact, he once said, “Once we lose the moral high ground we are no different from the rest, of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire.”

Though Mehdi Hasan grew up in a very multicultural environment in the United Kingdom, his disdain and sheer hate for non-Muslims has been visible for years. As a very strong debater, he must be acknowledged for providing brilliant intellectual covering fire when it comes to vilifying the other side.

His particular target has been the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who he equates to Adolph Hitler. In one of his tweets, Hasan tried to get the attention of the liberal cabal when he said, “Putin. Orban. Le Pen. We talk a lot in the West about the rise of far-right authoritarians and yet we never mention India’s Narendra Modi and his BJP. I did a deep-dive into India under Modi & new warnings of an anti-Muslim genocide,”.

Without missing a breath, he equated Hindu Nationalism in India with white Supremacy in the West, which is an ideology based on race. He also said that ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Hindutva’ are different which is a line parroted by many leftists, Congress supporters and Dravidianists in India to undermine Hindus.

In 2021, he platformed George-Soros-funded, anti-India activist Sunita Vishwanath to unleash her propaganda against India and the Modi government.

Hasan used to be a part of Al-Jazeera. 

Hasan also allegedly once made a post on his social media “Make American Planes Crash Again” hinting at a repeat of the twin tower terror attack. He posted this on 16 February 2025 shortly after a U.S. plane crash, as a satirical jab at the “Make America Great Again” slogan in the context of U.S. foreign policy.

He deleted it soon after amid backlash, later calling it “poorly worded” and blaming critics for Islamophobia.

“Highly Competitive Fight Ahead, TVK Will Split Votes, Will Affect Ruling Party”, Says Rahul Gandhi’s Aide Praveen Chakravarty

“Highly Competitive Fight Ahead, TVK Will Split Votes, Will Affect Ruling Party”, Says Rahul Gandhi's Aide Praveen Chakravarty

Ahead of the formalisation of the seat-sharing agreement between the DMK and Congress, political circles were abuzz with reports suggesting a possible alliance between the Congress and Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).

Amid this backdrop, Congress leader Praveen Chakravarty, who heads the party’s data analytics division and is considered close to Rahul Gandhi, stated that his meeting with actor-politician Vijay was carried out with the approval of the Congress leadership.

As reported in Dinamalar, in an interview to an English daily, Chakravarty clarified that the meetings were not personal initiatives but were undertaken with the consent of the party high command. He stated that all actions taken by him over the past six months had been with the approval of the leadership and added that he was prepared to face criticism and even be made a scapegoat if required for the party’s interests. He also indicated that another senior All India Congress Committee functionary had participated in the meeting with Vijay.

While declining to comment directly on whether formal alliance talks took place, Chakravarty acknowledged that discussions on politics, including Tamil Nadu politics, were held during the meeting.

Addressing questions on alliance dynamics, he said that within the Congress, there was a strong view that the party should seek a greater number of seats in Tamil Nadu. He noted that nearly two-thirds of party functionaries supported increasing the number of seats allocated to Congress, while some backed the demand for a share in power. A smaller section, he said, suggested that alternative options should be considered if these demands were not met.

Chakravarty described the Congress in Tamil Nadu as a party that does not fully recognise its own strength, comparing it to Hanuman. He said the current political situation presents an opportunity for the party to rebuild, reorganise, and strengthen itself. He also emphasised that Congress leaders and workers expect both respect and a fair share of seats, and warned that dissatisfaction among cadres would persist unless the number of constituencies allotted to the party is increased.

On electoral prospects, Chakravarty said the upcoming Assembly election would be highly competitive. He stated that TVK’s entry into the electoral fray could lead to a split in votes, which, according to him, would impact the ruling party.

Despite earlier speculation about alternative alliance options, Congress has continued in its alliance with the DMK, with seat-sharing finalised and candidate nominations already filed.
