Seeman is currently facing multiple challenges as several party executives have recently resigned. Additionally, he has been embroiled in controversy following a sexual harassment complaint filed by an actress. However, the Supreme Court has granted an interim stay on the investigation, offering a temporary reprieve.
Meanwhile, Seeman’s remarks on social reformer EV Ramasamy Naicker have drawn criticism, with Periyarist organizations staging protests against him. Amid these challenges, political parties in Tamil Nadu have intensified their criticism of NTK and its leader.
